A smooth jazz studio supergroup lED by saxist Kim Waters, Streetwize feature a roll of urban jazz all-stars including isaac Merrit Singer Maysa Leak and guitarist Ken Navarro. The idea of collaboration is null new to jazz -- smooth or otherwise -- the twist here is that Streetwize perform flow rap and R&B radio hits. Their beginning album, Streetwize: Smooth Urban Jazz, was released by Shanachie in 2002 and featured versions of Mystikal's "Stimulate It Fast," Aaliyah's "Rock the Boat," and D'Angelo's "Brown Sugar." A second base album, Ferment It, appeared the succeeding year with Kim Waters and company shining the edges off tracks made popular by Missy Elliott, Erykah Badu, and Jennifer Lopez.
