Young saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin releases her debut album, Retox, in a musical environment that is similar to what existed in the jazz world in the 1970s. It’s harder than ever to hear jazz of any kind on the radio. The recession wreaked havoc on the jazz festival industry. On the flip side, jazz artists appear more willing to explore and incorporate different styles.

Saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin recorded Retox to honor her inspirations, a veritable roll call of soul and R&B greats. It has all the ingredients: plenty of funk, a powerful horn section, and some guest singers and rappers. Some of the material by Benjamin is excellent, ranging from floor-shaking power pop to old-school slow jams ("My Love"). But ultimately, there seems to be a lack of passion on the disc. The playing is all there, but there's not a great deal of Benjamin's playing, and where she does come to the fore it sounds too controlled and contained.
