Although Masterjam was just more of a Quincy Jones album than a Rufus effort, this ended up being one of the groups' last successful full-studio endeavors. A frequent Jones collaborator, Rod Temperton, offers the title track and the even better "Live in Me." The album's only low point was a cover of Jones' own "Body Heat." On this version the pace is quickened, inexplicably turned into disco which revealed the lyrics to be paper-thin. On a track somewhat close to a ballad, the brilliantly arranged "Heaven Bound," Jones gets a good raw vocal from Khan. The album's first track is "Do What You Love What You Feel," with its subtle horn riffs arranged by Jerry Hey and vocals from guitarist Tony Maiden and Khan. It's nothing to cry about, since Jones was at his R&B/pop peak and Rufus couldn't do it any better on their own. Jones' production style is so strong that the band's individual sound is all but lost. The most striking thing about Masterjam is that is doesn't sound like a trademark Rufus effort. Khan had worked with Jones on his 1978 album, Sounds.And Stuff Like That. Masterjam finds them back together, renamed Rufus and Chaka, with Quincy Jones producing the effort.
