The Smooth Grooves: Jazzy Soul series features “quiet storm” classics from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s. Taken together, we’re talking three sensuous volumes of sultry soul with a pinch of sophisticated jazz—the perfect recipe for love.
Rhino's Smooth Grooves series continues with Jazzy Soul, Vol. 2, a collection of jazzy soul hits from Loose Ends, Miki Howard, Kashif, and Shirley Jones. Al Jarreau's "Mornin'," Maze's "Golden Time Of Day," Bill Withers' "Lovely Day," and the Blackbyrds' "Walking In Rhythm," set the tone for this sophisticated R&B set, which also includes songs by Patrice Rushen, Minnie Ripperton, and Norman Connors. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
