GRP recording artists Will Downing and Gerald Albright are proud to announce their Rhythm of Love tour for the summer of 2002. During these dates, Downing and Albright will perform music from their new GRP releases, as well as the music from their chart-topping 1998 release Pleasures of the Night. Vocalist Patti Austin is also a featured artist on this tour.

With eight albums, sales of more than one million units, bragging rights to chart status in the R&B, adult, and jazz genres, and fans around the world, Will Downing has established himself as one of the most popular and flexible vocalists working today. His first recording for the GRP label, Sensual Journey, is a blend of Downing's essence: romance bred with soul, married to jazz, and touched with the timelessness of classic pop. The record's first single, “Cool Water," is currently shooting up the radio charts. The album also features appearances by such notables as Boney James, Marcus Miller, Phil Perry, and Vesta.

Multi-instrumentalist Gerald Albright combines elements of jazz, funk, and soulful R&B on his brand new album, Groovology. On this recording, Albright takes on the duties of soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophone, flute alto flute, keyboards and bass guitar, in addition to contributing background vocals! Throughout his career, he has worked with some of the biggest contemporary pop artists including Phil Collins, Whitney Houston, Anita Baker, Chaka Khan, and The Temptations, among others.
