Title: From a Jarreau Fan
Review: First and foremost, let me begin by saying I am a HUGE Al Jarreau Fan. I almost feel like I know Al Jarreau, having never met him (smile). His music is brilliant, and he is one of the few, very few, musicians I would buy, on sight without the benefit of hearing the music.The above said, this CD is great, but a little tame compared to the Al Jarreau I grew-up with. I like the CD because it's Al's voice, but if this CD had been my first exposure to Jarreau, I am not sure if the 25 year love-affair I've had with his music would have been. If you really want to hear Al Jarreau listen to Live In Europe... I wore the grooves out of that album in high school. ....singing the song shobedo, while birds and rich folks flew-right-on-by... we got by.... (raw Al Jarreau.. the good stuff).Al is still my main-man, but if you want to hear Al's music that took us hard-core Fans by storm look to the past.
Is the review positive or negative?
