There’s an immediate Motown vibe to the introductory harmonies on “Could We Try Again,” before Mr. Steven B. Enters the field of play with his smooth jazz sax playing. Thankfully, this isn't a Kenny G bore-fest. B, as opposed to G, has the ability to transmit genuine emotion and real feel through his sax. Overall, B oozes cool, style and sensuality, and that’s an intoxicating jazz cocktail.

Yes, it’s smooth jazz so there’s a muzak quality to the chill vibes. But it’s far more enthralling than many other artists within this genre have the audacity to offer, and those little vocal interludes make all the difference.
