Crossover, thy name is Downing. PLEASURES of the night, a collaboration between vocalist Will Downing and sax/flute wizard Gerald Albright, crosses so many genre lines that its appeal must be unprecedentedly broad. With the able assistance of ace jazz drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith, pianist Patrice Rushen and others, Downing and Albright combine contemporary R&B, top 40 pop, lite jazz and traditional pop vocal stylings on an album that, for all its stylistic wandering, remains undeniably cohesive. Backed by the warm, fluid filigrees of Albright, Downing turns the Beatles' classic "Michelle" into a jazz tune, turns Sinatra-esque on "The Nearness of You" and makes a convincing R&B loveman on the sensuous "Stop, Look & Listen to Your Heart."
