Al Jarreau was one of my favorite Jazz artists. I was lucky enough to see him perform live. Jim Hester

Hi Jess, as I said in the live, this track is exhausting, it doesn't give you a second to breathe, it goes on, goes on, goes on, goes on until the end with a devilish rhythm. As I said, and I intend to repeat until I no longer consider it so, you are the best at analyzing singers and songs. If I ever stop saying it, please ask me if I have forgotten or if I have found perfection elsewhere.... Huge hug, Jess, you've earned it!

[@jessicasopranonotes]

thank you Francisco! Yes, this music can be quite overwhelming because there is so much to take in. And some people can't understand/absorb it all, which is perfectly fine! You're always so sweet with your words and I appreciate all of your input ☺️

[@edzielinski]

Thank you so much for this. This is one of my favorite performances of all time, and you've revealed and illuminated things about the performance that make it even more enjoyable. I commend you on your approach of being informative, educational, and keeping it real - there's a lot of reactions that are a bit over the top - yours is spot on and 100% professional.

Saw him perform live many times… Miss him

[@ewetoobblowzdogg8410]

This is immediately going on my song list! Absolutely fantastic! I saw Al Just a year before he passed and he could still easily bring it home. I gotta wonder if you've checked out his cover of Take 5? Look for the 1976 live version if you don't already know it. Best wishes from New Orleans!

Al Jarreau was such an incredible and unique singer. R.I.P.

[@petmom1967]

FANTASTIC

[@WonderfulWorldOfStuff]

Such a wicked jazzy flow, that piano just pathes the way 🎶🎹🎷🎹🎷🎵

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Yes, I love it!

[@zanohoriamazo1]

The reason the piano looks huge is because Michel Petrucciani was only 3 feet tall with most normal size hands. He suffered from a condition called osteogenesis imperfecta. He was often carried out on stage, as his bone structure was somewhat fragile. Clearly Al Jarreau was not only one of the most eclectic vocalist in that his work touched so many styles, but he was one of the most successful in terms of crossing into pop recognition. The composition is by the most recent to pass on, the late Sergio Mendes of his famous Brazil ‘66 & ‘77 fame. All three of these artists legacy carries on through studio recordings & live documented like this work as well. Al was also featured in the iconic We Are the World video with a solo part right after Willie Nelson & before Bruce Springsteen, a testament to how much he was respected by Quincy & the music elite. Gr8 reaction & perspective. 🙏🏾🎶🌟

Class act.

[@matto9734]

Check out this song performed by him in 1994, arranged by the magnificent Marcus Miller, Bass player and composer. Absolutely great!!! Btw, it´s brazilian classic... and yes, there is a LOT of improv happening. And yes, I miss Al Jearreau... such a skilled, inspired and humble human.

[@jchus]

I couldn't even think when to pause that performance! You did an amazing job stopping at the right times to comment😊

[@jessicasopranonotes]

thanks JC!! I was a bit nervous on pausing at the wrong moments because of how quickly the song moves but it all worked out 🤗

[@keithhodiak8577]

Loved hearing your singing voice at the end of the commentary, I'm looking forward to hearing some more in the future. Al jarreau was one of your greats I've enjoyed hearing over the years, It's wonderful that American has produced so many outstanding genius musicians. Best regards

[@Rosannasfriend]

Great performance. I’m 8 months late, but I enjoyed it.!

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Thanks for watching!

[@clivelange7879]

this is crazy man and i love it...real music

[@mcasualjacques]

earlier i was watxhing Michel Petrucciani "Take The a Train" & "Rachid" - and noted that musicians were all communicating with glances and even by Michel closing the cover of his piano keys to show it was the Steve Gadd (drums) or Anthony Jackson (Bass) 's turn. ( no singer except the Brass Trio )

[@FishFinga17]

Legends! They've departed, but their legend grows. I just watched a video of Gary Valenciano, Katrina Velarde's mentor, doing a cover of Spain. Inspired by his muse Al Jarreau. Incredible I tell ya. Incredible

[@geocubano]

Well Al was one of the wildest Jazz Vocalists in the last 40 years. There was a version that he did of this song with Joe Sample , Marcus Miller!

[@revehan9309]

he sings with hard voice modulation and also with a smile

[@revehan9309]

Al jarreau is my best singer since his first albuml

[@tylerhackner9731]

👍👍 awesome performance

[@jessicasopranonotes]

it's so good!

[@blueisback3683]

God, I love this stuff. I need to find a good Jazz club around here

[@jessicasopranonotes]

That's a great idea! I need to find one myself!

[@beaumontmuni4294]

Jarreau forever ... sadly missed.

[@annebastoul1963]

I discovered you on your reaction to Lara Fabian’s « je suis malade ». Thanks for your technicals explanations and sincere feelings. Both of this two performers (rip) were Genius of jazz singing and playing piano, but Michel Petrucciani was really a giant of jazz piano, considering his physical handicap and orphelin disease who made him pass off at only 37 in 1999. I hope you will enjoy too his performance in the French same tv show Taratata with the duet with French singer Liane Folly on « Stormy weather ». Thanks and congratulations. (Sorry for my English… as I ´m French)

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Anne, your English is fantastic!! I had no idea he passed away at such a young age. I will check out this performance, thank you!

[@revehan9309]

Mas que nada is on tenderness album . With all good musicien.

[@revertnicolas5977]

Rip Al jarerreau and michel

[@navigatorone1808]

Was a big fan of Al Jarreau's extraordinary talent & enjoyed your analysis but i would encourage you to delve a lot deeper into Michel Petrucciani's genius... unfortunately he passed away in 1999 at age 37..he also suffered from osteogenesis imperfecta (a genetic disease that makes ones bones brittle) which currently is a lot more treatable with our newer techniques in medicine & bone therapy.....however Michel overcame all of this to become one of the great jazz pianists of all time...In that rarified air with Oscar Peterson...his talent which we are now lucky to witness on you-tube cannot simply be described..it must be seen & heard...true genius...

[@mcasualjacques]

An advantage of having a Jazz Festival in Montreal is we learn Jazzist names across the years with tv ads and posters

[@valentinarichard1602]

Al Jarreau was a beat box.

[@EjLapore]

Its all improvised becuas e they masters in improvisation

[@simmonedavis98]

Please check out Chloe Bailey's performances of her rendition of Feeling Good by Nina Simone! They are so good and as an opera singer, I think you would really appreciate the many ranges of her voice. The first performance was on ABC and the second one was on GMA

[@jorgepereira1009]

Vale a pena estar vivo para escutar estes Deuses da Música, estes Artistas! E conhecem quem está ao meu lado na foto?

[@gloriacardona6267]

De acuerdo! La imagen is demasiada reducida para distinguir y no la puedo hacer más grande. ¿Quien es?

[@DGF042]

Yeah alright - they didn't miss a beat. However I'm not entirely sure if it's even possible to mess up the beat when you have Steve Gadd on the drums.:D I've seen that live back then. One of the best performances I've seen and I#ve seen a lot

Quem ousa invocar o Brazil?
