Yes, she's officially entered the zone where you have to catch yourself from grumbling that another actor's making an album. Exactly 180 degrees removed from "U.N.I.T.Y.," the Queen offers a collection of jazz standards here. This isn't exactly out of left field'"you may recall 2004's The Dana Owens pop/jazz hybrid garnering her a Grammy nom. The guests on Light are the real deal: Stevie Wonder, George Duke, Joe Sample, Christian McBride and John Clayton.
