    Lalah Hathaway; what can one say about a musician that clenches the aural dynasty of class, elegance and pure musical wonder. This sister just has her act 'together'. When I come home after a day out; I have to turn on Lady Lalah Hathaway to digest a symphony of musical genius. A smorgasbord of delectable melodic and harmonic pastries melded together to enable an aural epitome of delectable treats. This is a recorded work that 'must' be an integral part of everyone's musical collection! An angelic symphony prepared an structured for those of us that enjoy supreme musical excellence.

      I know that you're comment was left 12 yrs ago but I pray 🙏🏿 🤲🏿 that you are well . I've been there trust me I've lost count but God YAHUAH never allowed me to succeed. I know why and I want to see YAHUAH'S face one day . I also want to see his son (who the world calls Jesus Christ) YAHUSHUA HAMACHIAC I have so many questions to ask our Messiah 😊. Stay strong 💪🏿 my brother and stay Prayerful 🙏🏿 ❤.

    Jazz frees your soul by connecting with you on a deeper level. The expressions of the musician can be interpreted in so many different ways by each listener. There is no one same meaning. It is like a blank cheque to soothe your emotions. That's what Jazz does and nobody does it better than Kirk Whalum. Lalah Hathaway's voice and technique just perfect for this. I listened to this so many times I lost count.

Lala, Kirk, George and the rest of the Band WOW WOW WOW. We do not see this much anymore. Real musicians, real music. Not sample. not copied. Go to 5:00, that brother is not sleeping. He is CAUGHT up in the music....AHHH its breathing through his spirit. Again Thank you Kirk Lala George (RIP)
