It features 9 of George’s compositions and features an all star cast incl Stanley Clarke, Patrice Rushen, Marcus Miller, Gerald Albright, Dianne Reeves and Lalah Hathaway amongst many others. Dianne duets with Al on ‘Someday’ and the excellent ‘Brazilian Love Affair’ , Lalah on ‘Sweet Baby’, Kelly Price on ‘No Rhyme and reason’ and Jeffrey Osborne on ‘Every Reason To Smile/Wing s of Love’. Gerald Albright plays sax on ‘Somebossa (Summer Breezin)’ and the title track as does Boney James on ‘Bring Me Joy’. Al’s unmistakable voice is a delight throughout this uplifting, loving and fitting tribute to the late great man.
