Brian McKnight is the powerhouse of the contemporary R&B world: a singer, a songwriter, arranger, producer, multi-talented instrumentalist, and this fall the host of his own late night talk show. This versatile performer, who took time off from his music career to play guard for the California ABA basketball team the Ontario Warriors, follows up his hit 2006 album, Ten, with the highly anticipated Evolution of a Man, featuring collaborations with Jill Scott and Stevie Wonder.
