Al Jarreau's voice is a world-class instrument that's been making beautiful music for over four decades. Now, he can help you make it - together with your sweetheart - with his first ever compilation of music celebrating romance, AL JARREAU: LOVE SONGS. Featuring fourteen soulful songs spanning three decades - all culled from his definitive Warner Bros. years - the album's smooth flow proves just how fluent Jarreau is in the language of the heart.
A quintessential crossover artist, Al Jarreau is the only singer ever to win GRAMMY® Awards in three different genres-R&B, pop, and jazz (his latest GRAMMY came at the 2007 ceremony, when he was honored with Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance). As Jazzreview.com recently wrote, Ã’Al Jarreau is synonymous with great vocal acrobatics and a velvety smooth tone that makes people of all listening experiences equally enjoy his musicÉHis voice is not only instantly recognizable, but fluid, soulful, funky, romantic, and joyous.Ó
At last, this magical formula becomes a concentrated musical love potion on LOVE SONGS, featuring highlights including ÒSo Good,Ó ÒWait For The Magic,Ó ÒLet It RainÓ (a duet with Patti Austin) and - from Jarreau's GRAMMY-winning Warner Bros. album classic Breakin' Away - ÒTeach Me TonightÓ and the hit ÒWe're In This Love Together.Ó
