Listener Reviews & Comments
With so many guest artists on this disc, the release reminds one of those big-budgeted 80's albums produced by Quincy Jones and featuring all of his friends and neighbors. Benson and Jarreau are so individually gifted that the special appearances were not necessary but such additions stay with the current trend of star cameos. As far as the songs go, the covers are well done, adding intriguing changes in the two songs ("Breezin" and "'Mornin'") made famous by Benson and Jarreau, respectively. Besides those two, there are other "re-workings" that are soulfully jazzy, especially "Summer Breeze" and John Legend's "Ordinary People." The final selection, "Bring It on Home to Me" features an impressive Paul McCartney on lead vocals. Though "God Bless the Child," with Jill Scott adding her distinctive style on vocals, won last year's Grammy for best traditional R & B performance, it is "Let it Rain," with Patti Austin that should've taken home the coveted prize. The singer provides the perfect compliment to Jarreau's singing and Benson's guitar licks. This song is truly what R & B is all about!
