I took a jazz class and we talked about him and scatting for a couple days. As someone who's played music for a long time I was captivated by his talent and skill. Sometimes what he does is funny or strange compared to modern music but no one can deny his skill. I think him being okay with being a little different and strange is what makes him so captivating to me. He doesn't care what he looks like he's just doing his thing and making his music.

actually if you listen to Indian musicians, they have a way to "sing the rhythms of the tabla" or "vocal percussion" to mimic each of the different types of finger/hand strokes used when they play a set of tabla. That's probably an older form of beat boxing. The term used is Konnakol. Check out Trilok Gurtu, Zakir Hussain, they are probably the two best contemporary tabla players. I think Trilok is more original as he strays away from traditional Indian sounds and rhythms as he incorporates other music forms. Konnakol is taught to elementary school kids in India as they have to be able to "sing" the parts before they can learn how to play the instrument. it helps internalize the rhythms better. top percussionists can improvise rhythms and then play them after they sing them.

The original Take Five by Dave Brubeck has always been my favorite piece of music. I just saw this version. My first thought seeing it before I listened was maybe it's not the same song.

Al Jarreau is the Greatest Jazz Singer of this era. The way he could change the sounds, mood, styles in his voice was amazing. There will be no other singer like him. I've had the pleasure of watching him in concert up close & personal, but this particular performance is SPECIAL. Since his death, I've become mesmerize with this set. Just UNBELIABLE & GREAT ALL IN ONE! It's amazing how the music transcends his being. How his voice or being becomes every instrument in the band & he does not hold back, doesn't care who watching, he was a professional at his craft & I will always miss Mr. Al Jarreau. One more note on THE MAN- My friends & i went to Central Park to see a free concert. On the card was Sly & The Family Stone. Holding true to form, Sly & the Family Stone never showed up, but in their place was Al Jarreau. You just wouldn't believe the cat calls and boos that came from the crowd, including myself and the group I was in. No one had heard of Al Jarreau. But once he started singing & performing we were stunned by what we were hearing from this singer that we never heard of. To say the least we never forgot who this singer was & I will always sing his praise to this day. This recording from 1976 is one of if not the best live videos I've seen of a performance. Thank You Al Jarreau & GOD bless you my brother for bringing JOY & HAPPINESS INTO OUR LIVES.

Al is the only singer/vocalist I've seen twice. I am so blessed to have been in the presence of greatness.

Al Jarreau was "beat boxin'" before it was cool. I wonder if Pentatonix were influenced by him. Thanks Mr. Jarreau for all the joy your displayed.

He was very very proud and amazed in fact there's some vintage KZbin videos I believe from the 90s where he played and Al sang

I don't think I've ever smiled broader than I just did while listening to this! To have such control over your voice is simply amazing. I'm 14 years old, and it saddens me that I first hear of this genius now... after his demise.

I first heard this song back in the late 1970's. I was high as a kite but still vaguely remember having to lift my jaw up off the carpet.

I've never seen any better intro performed by another artist. To rhyme the words and make those sounds like that. My mind is blowing and it sounds perfect.

I remember this concert. I'd never heard of the guy. Saw the show on HBO or something. Never forgot Al Jarreau again after that. Simply the best. He's like a jazz trumpet or sax player and can damn near sing every lick you could put through a horn. I don't know if any of you know or remember that singer in Fifth Element. They used some synthesizer tricks to pull off that performance. Al Jarreau could do something like that without any synthesizer. A great imagination and a voice that could reproduce anything he could imagine. He's the king.
