Two weeks before Erykah Badu issued her stellar New Amerykah, Pt. 1: 4th World War, the faceless and nameless Smooth Jazz All-Stars issued the Erykah Badu Smooth Sax Tribute, with a loose mock up of the cover from her Mama's Gun album. Interestingly enough, "Honey," a cover of the untitled single from Amerykah opens the entire set. Cool enough. You already know what this sounds like: meatier-and-beatier-than-Kenny G versions of Badu's hits. It's an excellent listen, perfect for driving or background music. The grooves are tight enough without being suffocating, the melodies are pronounced in order to keep the saxophones way up front, and even the drum loops don't get in the way. For what it is, and for the price, this is a pleasant if inessential listen. ~ Thom Jurek Producer: The Smooth Jazz All Stars   Compilation Appearances Smooth Jazz Tributes Toni Braxton Yolanda Adams Smooth Jazz Tribute Tony Bennett Smooth Jazz Tribute Gotta Have Gospel Smooth Jazz Tribute Jill Scott Smooth Jazz Tribute Rick James Smooth Jazz Tribute Trin I Tee 5:7 Smooth Jazz Tribute J Moss Pajam Smooth Jazz Tribute Nelly Furtado Smooth Jazz Tribute Justin Timberlake Smooth Jazz Tribute Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas Smooth Gnarls Barkley Cool Jazz Tribute Best Of Body Soul Smooth Jazz Tribu R Kelly Smooth Jazz Tribute Musiq Soulchild Smooth Jazz Tribute Today's Gospel Smooth Jazz Tribute Bebe Cece Winans Smooth Jazz Tribut Israel New Breed Smooth Jazz Tribut Amy Winehouse Smooth Jazz Tribute Lyfe Jennings Smooth Jazz Tribute Mary J Blige Smooth Jazz Tribute Erykah Badu Smooth Jazz Tribute Marvin Sapp Smooth Jazz Tribute Shekinah Glory Ministry Smooth Jazz T Jaheim:smooth Jazz Tribute Bishop Paul Morton:smooth Jazz Tribut Richard Smallwood Smooth Jazz Tribute Clark Sisters Smooth Jazz Tribute Usher Smooth Jazz Tribute Leona Lewis Smooth Jazz Tribute Duffy Smooth Jazz Tribute Nelly Smooth Jazz Tribute Keyshia Cole Smooth Jazz Tribute Smooth Jazz Tribute: Black Eyed Peas Patriotic Smooth Jazz Tribute Maxwell:smooth Jazz Tribute Toby Mac:smooth Jazz Tribute Whitney Houston:smooth Jazz Tribute Shakira Smooth Jazz Tribute Smooth Jazz Tribute To Michael Jackso Smooth Jazz Tribute To The Jackson 5   Associated Artists and Works Smooth Jazz Tribute Trin-I-Tee 5:7 ~ Various Artists Bishop Paul Morton Smooth Jazz Tribute ~ Various Artists Richard Smallwood Smooth Jazz Tribute ~ Various Artists Various Artists Maxwell Smooth Jazz Tribute [PA] ~ Various Artists Renditions: Tobymac Tribute [PA] ~ Various Artists   Technical Info Release Date : 02/05/2008 Original Release Date : 2008 Catalog ID : 9333 Label : CC Entertainment Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 38m : 19s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00707541933322    Product Image
