Title: Smooth Jazz At It's Best
Review: I recently picked up Smooth Urban Grooves by Soul Providers and if you're a fan of Smooth Jazz then this is a CD for you. The hip-hop tracks Encore, Through The Wire, Hate It Or Love It and 21 Questions are very smooth and have a Chicago steppin feel to it. However I'm a slow jam type of guy and the slow jam jazz covers on here Let Me Love You, We Belong Together, Lovers & Friends and Diary all stand out. The Usher/Lil Jon/Ludacris composition titled "Lovers and Friends" retains its soulful ballad ways, while the addition of certain jazz elements delivered from Baldwin's keyboards and the soulful horn charts played to the hilt by Nelson Rangell and Marion Meadows. The same can be said for My Place which becomes a even smoother slow jam when the sax is added to it. If you get a chance pick this one up.
