The Al Jarreau Show 1976

Overview

From the German television archives, a musical gem: Al Jarreau performing thirteen songs live in a Hamburg television studio (originally broadcast on December 3, 1976). With stunning sense of nuance, humor, improvisation and dynamics he interprets songs like "Your Song" by Elton John and "Take Five" by Paul Desmond. Al is accompanied by Tom Canning (keyboards), Jerome Rimson (bass), and Nigel Wilkinson (drums). The Al Jarreau show is anything but boring -- ingenious, brilliant and timeless, and a real rarity. · Analogue tapes have been used as source for the recordings on this DVD. Tracklist: 1.
