Photographer: Erik Marino. Arranger: Michael Bohannon. Philadelphia DJ and Will Smith's erstwhile companion Jazzy Jeff compiles a set of smooth, old-school R&B by both mature performers like Kelli Sae, whose version of Aretha Franklin's "Daydreamin'" is a highlight, and comparative newcomers like Omar and Angie Stone, who impressively re-imagine William DeVaughn's "Be Thankful." Michael Bohannon conjures Marvin Gaye on his sublime "Make Love Last Forever," while Valencia Robinson's "BlackSolSista" is pure Curtis Mayfield. Jeff supplies the unobtrusive DJ beats and guides the mix with a master's touch, ensuring a turbulence-free ride through a variety of artfully constructed soundscapes, assisted by some of the most creative and talented artists in nu-soul.
