“Africa Rising” is the fifth release from noted smooth jazz sax leader Andre Ward on the Gallery Entertainment/Orpheus Enterprises label. The Chicago native, who currently resides in Boston, Mass., brings together originals and remakes on this new album, each with their own distinct flavor. From the hip-hop flavored single, “Casualty of Love” (with vocalist K’Jon), to the upbeat; brassy remake of Stevie Wonder’s “Do I Do,” Ward covers many musical palates. Ward tells Go With The Flo, “Music is a universal language. My favorite band will always be Earth, Wind & Fire, which was founded by Maurice White – who came out of Chicago with his brother Verdine.” Ward is also a big fan of The Emotions, who are also natives of Chicago and covered their hit song “Don’t Ask My Neighbors,” which was written by Skip Scarborough and produced by Maurice. The Emotions’ association with Maurice brought them their greatest level of success.

This rendition touches me more deeply than she will ever know.”
