Review title: A motherless child of an album ....................
Product review: "Groovin'", which opens this album, is the best thing on it. And yet, listening to it, I keep thinking about the original. And when I listen to The Rascals' version, this one just sounds like an exhibition of why many people are lukewarm or worse towards "smooth jazz".I'm a big fan of Norman Brown and Rick Braun. Kirk Whalum, not so much. And yet he sounds great on "A Woman's Worth", but all his good work is destroyed by a very pedestrian effort from Rick Braun.And it's all downhill from there. This project simply doesn't work, for whatever reasons. It mostly sounds like very good players going through the motions. Nobody owns it, and because of that it lacks soul.
