One of the best concerts I've ever experienced was seeing Al Jarreau live. Amazing example of how the human voice can truly be a most magical instrument!

He was a master of scatting. His phrasing, his improvisations all top knotch.

For me anything by George Benson. So so underrated, vocals and especially the guitar. I think I’m going to go listen to Breezin right now.

He was building on historic precedent, with this. Decades before, The Mills Brothers would sing while accompanying each other with vocalizations that sounded like big band instruments, in some of their songs.

William, great choice. I had this lined up as my pick but decided to go with a Miles Davis/David Sanborn performance instead. Thanks brother. Next we’re gonna get some Michael Franks on the channel. 😊

@@L33Reacts You have no idea how big Al was in the 70’s & 80’s. He could do things with his voice that other singers only could dream of attempting. A great jazz and adult contemporary music singer. A singular talent.

Saw him live in 1981. He was sooooo good!!!! He had a phenomenal band too - with Nathan East on bass.

I recall suggesting this gem when you reacted to the Brubeck original. Fasten your seatbelt, lol.... And if you're impressed by Jarreau, you should hear him with two other scat masters, Bobby McFerrin, and John Hendricks, covering Miles Davis's, "Freddie the Freeloader". These vocal genuises actually completely NAILED all the solos from the original Kind of Blue recording. Note for note, phrase for phrase, inflection for inflection. It's jaw-dropping. Actually, that could make for a really good comparison reaction...🤔

i love kind of blue too... one of my first jazz records on here and it has a special place in my heart already LOL i'll have to check that out

@lisarainbow9703 5 ай бұрын

Even if you don't do a reaction to it, it will truly blow your mind. The other 2 vocalists I mentioned are at the same level as Jarreau was---- And hearing someone actually SING a Coltrane solo?? It's mind-blowing.

Hi there ... If you believe or not - Al Jarreau start his career here in hamburg germany in our small jazz club called "Onkel Pö’s Carnegie Hall" ! I`ve seen him live only once time (because I was quite young and not a big friend of Jazz music) but he was a very, very friendly guy and hugs all his fans. That impressed me a lot - thanks for sharing and all the best to you - from HH - germany

Been waiting for another Al Jarreau song! He is the only vocalist in history to win Grammy Awards in three separate categories: jazz, pop and R&B. My favorite album of his is one of his later albums -"All I Got" (from 2002). If you are looking for another, but totally different, Al Jarreau song, please react to "Random Act of Love" from that album. The bass player was killing it on that song! And you know Peter Barber? I follow him on his KZbin channel. He has an amazing deep bass/baritone voice!

Anything from his live album, Look to the Rainbow, you should check out. He is scatting and doing this style on these tracks: Burst in With the Dawn, You Don't See Me, Letter Perfect, Better than Anything, We Got By (this one has a live video as well from the same show). He does have some songs that are more commercial Top 40, but I think his best work is the eccentric stuff.
