The Blak's Lair Family presents Covered In Jazz [EXCLUSIVE] [2009]

Covered In Jazz Disc 1Covered In Jazz Disc 2

You are all probably very aware by now that smooth and sexy is Moi's thing, so needless to say that this is a smooth jazz compilation.

Originally this was a project Lord Blak and myself were going to be working on, but Lord Blak is presently trying to fit 48 hours into 24 hours and decided I should go it alone.

"Covered In Jazz" seemed like the perfect name for this album, as it describes exactly what is consists of, it's mainly RnB & Soul songs that have been covered in jazz. Most, if not all of you will know every tune on this compilation, and without doubt will know the artists that sung them too: Maxwell, Joe, D'Angelo, R.Kelly, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Isley Brothers, Toni Braxton and Mary J. Blige to name but a few.

"Covered In Jazz" is a 2 disc compilation, it contains 28 tracks, with a play time of almost 2 and a quarter hours. I'm no DJ but I have a good ear for quality smooth jazz, this is my first compilation here, and hopefully you will see the love story unfold, and enjoy the journey.

Special thanks to Lord Blak for having enough faith in me to post this compilation under The Blak's Lair Family name.

Big, big thanks to that BET Awards-dissin, MTV-boycottin, urban radio-hatin ass mofo Joaquino for the cover art - he's a very talented guy.

Comments and feedback would be gratefully appreciated, the comments section helps us get a better understanding of what you like.

Tracklist is in the comments section.

All those V.A smooth jazz compilations better watch out, Blak's Lair has shown them how it's supposed to be done.
Clearly a lot of time and effort went into putting this together, if I bought this CD I would consider it money well spent.
Whoever put the tracklisting together definately knows their stuff.
Every smooth jazz fan needs to grab this, you won't be dissapointed.
Thanks to all the Blak's Lair staff for a magnificent work of art.
Love it! 10/10
