In a September 2008 article on Al Jarreau, Time Magazine wrote, “Perhaps more than any popular vocalist alive, he embodies the notion of the voice as a pure instrument.” That aspect of Jarreau's art fully informs his more jazz centric recordings, including his stellar 1975 Warner Bros. debut WE GOT BY. Soulful and improvisational, the album spotlights Jarreau on nine original compositions including “Spirit,” “You Don't See Me” and the title track.

A Top 5 jazz and Top 20 R&B album in Billboard, LOOK TO THE RAINBOW features Jarreau accompanied by the great jazz players Lynn Blessing (vibraphone), Tom Canning (keyboards), Joe Correro (drums) and Abraham Laboriel (bass) on highlights including “Take Five,” “Better Than Anything” and the title track.
