About Streetwize
Artist Biography
Streetwize is a charting contemporary jazz studio recording project led by saxophonist Kim Waters. His regular collaborators include vocalist Maysa Leak and guitarist Ken Navarro; the rest of the lineup fluctuates according to need. Since 2002's Streetwize: Smooth Urban Jazz, they have almost exclusively recorded jazz covers of contemporary rap and R&B hits. Their sophomore date, Work It, went all the way to number two on the contemporary jazz charts. 2006's Does Dre was their first to focus on a single artist. 2012's Feelin' Sexy offered ballads and 21st century love songs; it went to number three, as did the following year's Body Party. 2015's Does the Divas was the project's first to focus exclusively on female vocalists. After a five-year hiatus, Waters brought the group back for 2020's Ocean Eyes. Lift Me Up appeared in 2024.
