Synopsis

Amazon.com
The New Orleans-born Michael "Patches" Stewart has been a session man supreme. He played on the 1975 LaBelle classic, "Lady Marmalade," and he's worked with everybody, from Quincy Jones to Al Jarreau. On his new CD, Stewart turns over the producer chair to his long-time partner, bassist/multinstrumentalist Marcus Miller, who produced some of Miles Davis?s last recordings. Trumpetwise, Stewart is closer to Tom Brownethan to Clifford Brown, so he's at home in the smooth jazz category. Another Miles alumnus, alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett delivers some laser licks on the bouncy title tune, with beats by DJ Quik. Vocalist Will Downing drops his beautiful baritone on the quiet storm cut, "Don't You Know," and rapper MC Lyte displays her verbal skills on "Cruisin'." Stewart successfully upgrades the Wes Montgomery hit "Road Song," Stevie Wonder's "Overjoyed," and Herbie Hancock's "[Tell Me a] Bedtime Story" for the IPOD generation. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Blow is # 1
Jerry Clark | Nashville, Tennessee United States | 03/24/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This week "Blow" is the most requested cd on my radio show(Mellow Madness). It has been sometime that I have heard funky sounds like that (compared to Tom Browne, Benard Wright and Don Blackman). The selection with the Will Downing vocal have the ladies calling the request line. This cd is a keeper. Jerry "the Mouse" Clark WFSK 88.1FM -Fisk University Radio Nashville, Tenn"

"His new album is great but took a long time to appear in the states. I've been listening to this constantly since I picked it up in japan back in late 2003. My favorites are Bed Time Story, Don't you know and Cruisin'.

"This cd can only be defined as an exceptional piece of work. From the opening intro to the last song this cd is great for whatever mood you are in. TO all inspiring musicians and veterans of the game... this is how you produce great music. Marcus miller is on a whole different level playing most of the live instruments, yes live instruments himself. Unlike a lot of todays artists playing along to studio produced tracks. Marcus adds his flava to the richness of patches's horn as he manuevers his bass to chill in the background while patches does his thing. This is good music damn!!!"
