Jarreau Artist Al Jarreau Album Title Jarreau Date of Release 1983 (recording) inprint AMG Rating (Best-of-Artist) Genre Jazz, Vocal Styles R&B Time 38:31 AMG EXPERT REVIEW: Having broken through into the pop Top Ten albums with producer Jay Graydon and Breakin' Away, Jarreau had found his commercial groove, and it was potent enough tosustain him at least through the eponymously titled follow-up album. Again, strong, often self-co-composed material and catchy, radio-friendly arrangements with lots of synthesizers would be the strong suit of this album, front-loaded by two large-scale R&B hits, the cheery "Mornin'" and footstomping "Boogie Down," that would be part of his concert repertoire forever more ("Save Me" is also in their league). The backing comes from a coterie of L.A. pros who kick in more energy than what one would normallyexpect; it must be the material that fired 'em up. In other words, this isa really good R&B album, almost a great one, with the one caveat beingthat Jarreau's unique vocal abilities aren't remotely challenged; this couldhave been conceivably cut by almost any skilled R&B singer. -- Richard S.
