"Beautiful Life" is a journey of 12 songs which includes singularly memorable covers of Bob Marleys Waiting in Vain, Fleetwood Macs Dreams, Marvin Gayes I Want You and Ani DiFrancos self-empowering 32 Flavors. Included in the rest of the tracks, which cover the spectrum from jazz to soul, are two new songs Cold and Satiated which are emotionally volcanic. Produced by Terri Lyne Carrington, "Beautiful Life" features an all-star cast that includes bassists Esperanza Spalding and Richard Bona, vocalists Gregory Porter and Lalah Hathaway, pianists Robert Glasper and Gerald Clayton and Reeves cousin and frequent longtime collaborator George Duke.
