Customer Reviews of Accentuate the Positive
Simply disappointing! I don't recommend this album to anyone! It seems that all the energy, the "music stamina" Al Jarreau had, is definitely gone. I waited until I could read all the comments on this album, then bought it. Wasted money! If you're expecting to find more of the magnificent Jazz & Pop exercises Al Jarreau did in "Breakin' Away", "Jarreau" or "L Is For Lover", just forget it...!!! This album is for dark-Jazz & Blues fans only. Anyway, Jarreau's voice sound simply murky and boring.
"For This Time It Isn't Fascination Or A Dream That Will Fade And Fall Apart"
"Tons and tons of thanks to Susan and Ryan, my wife and son, co-captains of the `A-Team' and both sharing the MVP Award (Congratulations, Mr. Jarreau, for garnering this prestigious award). They continue to buoy me up, take up the slack, and watch my back while cheering and bootin' me in the butt. Picturing that is hard to do, but they do it and it's priceless. Thank you dear Susan and Ryan. ~ Al Jarreau ~

>This is one of the greatest and best-ever jazz albums of all-time and it's to-die-for every time I listen to it especially tracks two, four and five. Al Jarreau has been one of the exceptional jazz artists in my list of favorites. My stunning sister, Debbie, who's in her forties (but looks half her age) with a model-like figure who was once a piano teacher and has an exquisite taste not only in music, but everything else, introduced me to Al Jarreau's music in the eighties thru one of his earliest recordings, "Breakin' Away" and from that point on, I was hooked with Mr. Jarreau's kind of music and his extraordinary vocal artistry. My top favorites from among his many hits are "Wait For The Magic," "Try A Little Tenderness," "Ain't No Sunshine," "After All," "Mornin'," "Since I Fell For You," "My Favorite Things" and "Teach Me Tonight." I can't wait to be at his concert with another great jazz artist, George Benson, at the Hollywood Bowl this August.

>The charmer on this CD is Victor Young and Ned Washington's "My Foolish Heart." I have always loved this song and his interpretation is so sublime, his vocals soft and mellow and its Bossa Nova arrangement is so pleasing to my ears! Listen to it and you'll definitely agree with me that it's the best track of all. It starts off with a beautiful piano intro by Larry Williams who is also the arranger on this gem of a song and most of the tracks as well. It also features Anthony Wilson on guitar, David Carpenter on bass, Peter Erkstine on drums and Luis Conte on percussion.

>The rest of my top favorites are Johnny Mercer, Sonny Burke and Lionel Hampton's "Midnight Sun," which highlights the hauntingly beautiful harmonica playing of Tollak Ollestad, Hoagy Carmichael and Ned Washington's "The Nearness of You," Duke Ellington/Don George/Johnny Hodges/Harry James' "I'm Beginning To See The Light," Dizzy Gillespie and Al Jarreau's "Groovin' High" and last but not least, the song that I dedicate to my sister, Bill Evans and Gene Lees "Waltz For Debby." Thanks so kindly my beautiful sister! You really got an ear for good music.

Great!
This Ripon College graduate never fails to come up with quality CD's. "Accentuate the Positive" is a treat from a musician who is still growing in many ways.
