Joyner&#8217;s new release marks the arrival of a new talent in the jazz industry, yet this cat is an old soul who embodies the class of a Grover Washington and the smooth of a Gerald Albright.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Babysoul <\/strong> opens with a shuffling beat on the energizing &#8220;This Time Around.&#8221;   Joining Jackiem is a high-powered group of jazz musicians that includes trumpeter Rick Braun and guitarist Peter White who delivers some smart guitar riffs on the sexy <em>Stay With Me Tonight<\/em>.   &#8220;Just Groove&#8221; is a funky, swinging jam with big horns.  <\/p>\n<p>    The amorous &#8220;In Love Again&#8221; is a mid-tempo flute and sax duet.  Joyner beautifully covers the sexy &#8220;Say Yes,&#8221; originally recorded by Floetry.  &#8220;Share My Tears&#8221; is a down-tempo commercial ballad.  Named for his wife, &#8220;Lola&#8221; is intricately musical with sax and flute carrying the melody while the beat dances frenetically.  &#8220;Unforgiven&#8221; is another steamy Quiet Storm romancer.  Upbeat sax and flute interact in a call-and-response dialect on &#8220;Elevation.&#8221;  Closing the album is &#8220;Innocence,&#8221; a poignant, heartfelt slow jam. <\/p>\n<p>   Give it a spin&#8230;  <\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\"\/><cfinclude template=\"adbanner.asp\"><\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\"\/><?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/cfinclude><\/font><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jackiem Joyner Baby Soul (Artizen &#8211; 2006) by Ray Redmond<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3250\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
