	Smooth Jazz Now : Al Jarreau
		Jarreau is not downplaying anything he's done but his 'to do' list is quite large including his plans for a future Christmas or Big Band album and a possible duet with one of his biggest influences Johnny Mathis.
		Jarreau recently joked with the press saying his first country song would go like, "Titanium plate and a cadaver bone, don't tell me I'm all alone." Before the operation Jarreau says the problem took his balance away and caused great pain in his arms and shoulder.
		Al Jarreau, the Grammy Award-winning jazz musician who is a headliner for the Verizon Music Festival, is jazzing things up with the rhythm of reading by becoming a Verizon Literacy Champion.

	Al Jarreau: All I Got - PopMatters Music Review
		I see Jarreau as a vocal stylist, with specific mannerisms and definite jazz influences, whose interests were always in the shaping and crafting of popular songs so that they became his own.
		Jarreau is, in the end, simply a stylish vocalist in a world not overly blessed with such creatures.
		Jarreau got there a long time ago and if he has not soared to greater heights, he has certainly not crashed to the ground.

	Al Jarreau cds, vinyl records and music albums
		Al Jarreau cds and Al Jarreau records can be found on the label WEA Records.
		Al Jarreau's career mirrors George Benson's -- both are complex jazz artists who draw from a plethora of influences and both have found so much success in the R&B field that it has taken them away from the jazz idioms they have mastered.
		If Jarreau had started his career earlier he would probably be a respected -- and broke -- jazz singer.

	Al Jarreau - Music Downloads - Online
		Bio: The only vocalist in history to net Grammy awards in three different categories (jazz, pop, and R&B, respectively), Al Jarreau was born in Milwaukee, WI, on April 12, 1940.
		After recording 1986's L Is for Lover with producer Nile Rodgers, Jarreau scored a hit with the theme to the popular television program Moonlighting, but his mainstream pop success was on the wane, and subsequent efforts like 1992's Heaven and Earth and 1994's Tenderness found greater success with adult contemporary audiences.
		LiPuma had produced Jarreau's ostensible 1975 debut, We Got By, and the pairing seemed to reinvigorate Jarreau, who went on to release three stellar albums under LiPuma's guidance, including 2000's Tomorrow Today, 2002's All I Got, and Accentuate the Positive in 2004.

		To highlight those qualities requires a certain restraint on the part of the producer. The key is to let Al be Al.
		Because Al is such a great singer, sometimes I think his gifts as a composer are overlooked.
		At the heart of Al's view of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is "Accentuate the Positive". Al reflects, "Maybe it's the first commandment. And maybe all the other commandments also tell us to "Accentuate the Positive" and eliminate what's negative as we look for joy and happiness."

	Al Jarreau: Tomorrow Today - PopMatters Music Review
		I saw Al Jarreau live about two years ago at an outdoor festival, and if Mother Nature would have kept away the small scale typhoon that hit Bethlehem, Pennsylvania that evening, I would have stayed for the whole show.
		Al goes through two and a half minutes without mentioning what the "it" in the title is, only to let us know at the very end that "it" is the groove.
		Jarreau's vocals are consistently superb, and the arrangements are just as consistently tasteful and complimentary of Al's style.

		Al traveled back and forth between the two cities, frequently rubbing shoulders with the likes of Richard Pryor and Quincy Jones, thinking most fondly of his residency at LA's Blah Blah Cafe.

	CD Review of Al Jarreau - Accentuate The Positive on Verve @ jazzreview.com
		So the idea of Al Jarreau tackling musical standards aided and abetted by his old producer Tommy LiPuma, backed by top musicians like Christian McBride, Peter Erksine and Larry Williams must have seemed in the planning stage like an idea that couldn't miss.
		Al's decision to "undersing" the material on Accentuate the Positive and not overwhelm the songs with unneeded vocal acrobatics could be born out of the realization that these songs don't need any.
		Maybe some do, but life is too short to waste it on bad music and this is one of a handful of Al Jarreau albums that don't provide a single reason for repeat listening.

	Jazz is at the heart of 'Al Jarreau music'
		"Al Jarreau music" is romantic and dancey at the same time, sizzling in its lyricism and elemental in its surging rhythms.
		Which is a lot, considering he just released a compact disc with a new label, GRP/Verve, and is singing all over the place, including Saturday night at Sedona Cultural Park, as part of Sedona Jazz on the Rocks.
		On that note, Jarreau launches into Volga Boatmen, followed by Happy Days Are Here Again, just to make his point.

	Al Jarreau - Accentuate The Positive - Verve Records
		Rat Pack. A gorgeous bossa nova arrangement of “My Foolish Heart” is breathlessly intimate, as Jarreau spins lines of melody in his boyish upper range, evoking one of his heroes, Johnny Mathis, and then unfurls a delightfully inventive scat session that is pure Jarreau.
		Throughout Jarreau’s recording career he has steadily amassed a body of work as a lyricist, often setting his skillful lyrics to landmark jazz instrumentals. Accentuate opens with a funky, soul-inflected version of saxophonist Eddiie Harris’s 1969 soul-jazz hit “Cold Duck Time” with Jarreau’s playful words paying tribute to Harris.
		al jarreau's performance here is a tour de force tapping into everything from the sizzling swing of "cold duck" and "groovin' high" to the hip, sexy take on duke's "i'm beginning to see the light" to some choice ballad offerings here.
