Review

The New Orleans-born Michael "Patches" Stewart has been a session man supreme. He played on the 1975 LaBelle classic, "Lady Marmalade," and he's worked with everybody, from Quincy Jones to Al Jarreau. On his new CD, Stewart turns over the producer chair to his long-time partner, bassist/multinstrumentalist Marcus Miller, who produced some of Miles Davis's last recordings. Trumpetwise, Stewart is closer to Tom Brownethan to Clifford Brown, so he's at home in the smooth jazz category. Another Miles alumnus, alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett delivers some laser licks on the bouncy title tune, with beats by DJ Quik. Vocalist Will Downing drops his beautiful baritone on the quiet storm cut, "Don't You Know," and rapper MC Lyte displays her verbal skills on "Cruisin'." Stewart successfully upgrades the Wes Montgomery hit "Road Song," Stevie Wonder's "Overjoyed," and Herbie Hancock's "[Tell Me a] Bedtime Story" for the IPOD generation. --Eugene Holley, Jr.
