Al Jarreau Al Jarreau/Live Compilation 1981-1983

Al Jarreau’s most successful album, “Breakin’ Away,” released in 1981, is now available on CD from the sound check at the Montreux Jazz Festival. The DVD also includes professional shot footage from the 1981 North Sea Jazz Festival, with a long band intro before the classic “Spain”! This live performance is jazz, not pop, with Al’s own vocals considered to be one of the instruments. And the live performance with Randy Crawford, with super luxurious backing from Larry Carlton, David Sanborn, Marcus Miller, Neil Larsen… And the live performance of the classic “Easy” from 1983 is also amazing!
