Simply the Best
The first time I heard this recording I knew Al Jarreau would never make a recording this good again. This recording has indeed stood the test of time. Every track is a keeper and you cannot just listen to one or two but you have to listen to them all every time. I was disappointed in how the record company butchered the album to make it fit on a single CD. None the less this recording is a must have for any serious Jazz collection. Anyone interest in a singing career must listen to this album. Al Jarreau's vocal prowess and scatting ability makes him one of the top vocalist of his generation.

This album ranks at the top best of any "Live" recording by any artist list. If you can find the Album in pristine condition by all means buy it instead of the CD.

editing damaged a wonder
Thanks to the music fan from redding, CA and "MBK" for that mather who warned me about "crime-like" editing job on this CD. The LP is a wonder; Al as a jazz singer supported by a sensitive, sublime band. The voice and the music integrate so well. This live recording is warm and sensual, witty and creative. Al Jarreau never matched himself in any of the studio recordings. I was about to order a CD (I have owned the LP for about 15 yrs) but I would not tolerate any compromising cuts. To rid "Take Five" from its intro is a crime.

Stunning
Beware. This CD grows on you, becomes part of you. It is addictive. I don't think any album by Al Jarreau has ever surpassed it.

I first heard Al Jarreau many years ago in Berkeley California, when I was a student wearing black turtleneck tops and sipping espresso on Euclid Avenue.

Twenty years later, it has stood the test of time. It is a masterpiece.
