"Smooth" is not the word to describe this jazz masterpiece. Gerald Albright, a successful artist in the contemporary jazz music sphere has the ability to produce beautiful songs due to his talent on the saxophone. Not only is he powerful but he combines other musical elements such as R & B along with strong vocals to give his songs a flavour and character like no other. This album is the turning point in his career I believe from great to super and his talent is among the top 10 in his category. "Smooth" is an album that can be played through and through. It's upbeat, soulful and very inspirational. Don't hesitate to buy this album.
