| | Album Notes and Credits | Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel include: Boney James (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone, keyboards, programming); Dwele, Bilal, Debi Nova (vocals); Paul Jackson Jr., Tony Maiden (guitar); Joe Sample (piano); Billy Preston (organ); Pino Palladino (bass instrument); ?uestlove (drums); Luis Conte (percussion). |  | Recording information: The Back Yard, Los Angeles, California; Westlake Audio, Hollywood, California; Schnee Studios, North Hollywood, CA; Electric Lady, New York, New York; Sear Sound Studio, New York, New York. |  | Nine albums into his career, Boney James makes a grab for the smooth-jazz crown with PURE, an outing that finds him working with a mix of soul and jazz luminaries. James ups the stakes by taking over the production reins (in addition to co-writing every song). Still front and center with his beloved tenor saxophone, this Grammy-nominated artist shifts to soprano sax for the harmony-soaked Bilal duet "Better with Time" and the silk sheets-and-champagne slow jam "Break of Dawn," featuring up-and-coming Detroit crooner Dwele. |  | Debi Nova adds her lovely vocals to the beat-driven "Appreciate," a cut that wouldn't sound out of place on a Toni Braxton or Brandy album. Instrumentals are still the focus, however, as revealed on the light funk of "Here She Comes" and the snappy "Stone Groove" (featuring Crusaders keyboardist Joe Sample). Most impressive of all, the languid closing number, "You Don't Have to Go Home," showcases the interplay of Billy Preston's Hammond B-3 lines and Bobby Lyle's subtle piano runs. | Producer: Boney James | Engineer: Bill Schnee; Todd Fairall | Musical Guests |  | Billy Preston |  | Joe Sample |  | Bilal |  | Dwele |
