O’s Notes: This is a heavy dose of pop-based, smooth jazz featuring saxophonist, writer and producer Jackiem Joyner. He enlists support from a large cast of musicians including guitarist Nick Colionne and multi-instrumentalist/composer Timothy Bailey, Jr. Among the best songs are the funky “Southside Boulevard”, the mid tempo “Back To Motown” and the soothing “Don’t Make Me Wait”.
