Al Jarreau - 1977 - Look To The Rainbow (Live recorded in Europe)

Al Jarreau - 1977 - Look To The Rainbow (Live recorded in Europe)
Singer Al Jarreau's album, Look to the Rainbow, is easily the most jazz-oriented of all of his Warner Bros. recordings. Cut shortly before Jarreau permanently switched to a more mundane version of R&B, these performances feature him as a brilliant scat singer (able to emulate practically any instrument) and a superior ballad interpreter. Unfortunately, Al Jarreau essentially started on top, artistically speaking, and has since been intent on emphasizing potential commercial appeal over any possible innovations or chance-taking.

Recorded live in Europe between January and February 1977.

Personnel: 
Al Jarreau (vocals), 
Tom Canning (keyboards), 
Lynn Blessing (vibraphone), 
Abraham Laboriel (bass), 
Joe Correro (drums).
