Smooth Jazz Tribute to Chaka Khan, Vol. 2

by The Smooth Jazz All Stars

Overview

CC Entertainment's Smooth Jazz Tribute to Chaka Khan, Vol. 2, released six years after the first volume, presents another round of instrumental covers from the unidentified Smooth Jazz All-Stars. The band knocks out another ten-song set of Chaka covers, and this time they tend to go with later material, such as "Love of a Lifetime," originally released on the 1986 solo album Destiny. Again, the material is competently and reverently played -- played straightforwardly with the saxophonist taking Chaka's lead lines -- but it can't possibly compete with the original recordings. For whatever reason, "Through the Fire" appears here as it did on volume one. ~ Andy Kellman
