Album Notes & Community Reviews

The virtuosic jazz vocalist embraces sleek, contemporary R&B and synthesizer-driven pop production on this slickly arranged mid-eighties effort. Helmed by producer Jay Graydon, 'High Crime' relies on driving drum machines and sophisticated funk basslines to support his unmatched vocal agility. It successfully expanded his crossover appeal into urban and pop radio formats.
