Year: 1977 Look to the Rainbow Artist Al Jarreau Album Title Look to the Rainbow Date of Release Jan ??, 1977 - Feb ??, 1977 (recording) inprint AMG Rating (Best-of-Artist) Genre Jazz, Vocal Styles R&B Time 73:24 AMG EXPERT REVIEW: Singer Al Jarreau's double LP is easily the most jazz-oriented of all of his Warner Bros. recordings. Cut shortly before Jarreau permanently switched to a more mundane version of R&B, these performances feature him as a brilliant scat singer (able to emulate practically any instrument) and a superior ballad interpreter. Joined by vibraphonist Lynn Blessing, keyboardist Tom Canning, bassist Abe Laboriel and drummer Joe Correro, Jarreau is in top form on such numbers as "Better Than Anything," "Look to the Rainbow" and "Take Five." Unfortunately, Al Jarreau essentially started on top, artistically speaking, and has since been intent on emphasizing potential commercial appeal over any possible innovations or chancetaking. -- Scott Yanow 1.
