Kirk Whalum's live performances in the 1980s and '90s demonstrated that he had potential as a soul-jazz saxophonist, but his overproduced commercial albums were usually formula-driven disappointments that gave him little room to stretch out and put his improvisatory skills to work. Regrettably, Colors is no exception. Whalum shows how enjoyable a soloist he can be on the Brazilian-flavored "Escolhido (Chosen)," but most of the time, he sticks to a lightweight, unchallenging blend of pop, R&B and jazz that is short on substance and wastes his sizable chops. Especially weak is his version of the ballad "If Only for One Night" -- this Luther Vandross hit could have been a sexy and alluring vehicle for jazz improvisation, but instead, he offers a note-for-note cover that is as unimaginative as it is bloodless. Whalum is capable of a lot more.
