Product Description

Amazon.ca

Al Jarreau has one of music's great voices, a blend of silky highs and a warmly resonant midrange that's absolutely his own, and he's used it to great effect in the past with hits like "After All" and "We're in This Love Together". On his first studio recording since 1994's Tenderness, Jarreau continues to blur the lines between R&B, jazz, and pop. His skill with romantic ballads is reinforced from the outset with "Just to Be Loved" and "Let Me Love You", and the theme continues later in a soaring duet with Vanessa Williams on "God's Gift to the World". But Jarreau is never stuck in one groove. There are great funk tracks here, like the insinuating "In My Music" and "It's How You Say It", a slow groove that gives full play to his different voices. His jazz roots are apparent, too. The title track is a party of explosive Afro-Cuban beats, and "Something That You Said" is a vocal transformation of Weather Report's classic "A Remark You Made", with added details from Rick Braun's trumpet. The last track, "Puddit", is Jarreau at his most playful, an unaccompanied rendition of a Joe Sample tune with the singer clapping time to his own witty lyrics. Tomorrow Today is a perfect balance of Jarreau's soulful depths and wide-ranging creativity. --Adam Rains

Format:Audio CD
I am trying to enjoy the mellow music of Al Jarreau. It relaxes my nerves. My mom wants to watch t.v. and I want to listen to Al Jarreau. The volume is down when there are commercials so I can enjoy the music. She listens to the t.v. loud. Yikes!! bye, margarita. Suave listening to Al Jarreau. Wonderful and splendid.!!

2.0 out of 5 stars WHERE HAS THE OLD AL GONE? April 16 2002
By M. Hodge
Format:Audio CD
My husband bought me this CD for a mother's day gift back when it released because he KNOWS that I absolutely LOVE Al Jarreau.

Let me start by saying that I've been in love with Al Jarreaus music from the release of "All Fly Home." I had never heard of him, but once I got the album, it was all I wanted to hear. He was fresh, original, engertic, unbound, creative, innovative and well--he could sing as well as he could scat-- perfect! I went on to discover other Al Jarreau treasures, top of the list was "Live In Europe."

Beyond his paramount vocal abilities, his songs drew me in. There was the bittersweet hopeful determination of "We Got By", the raw unfetted joy of "Could You Beleive?" the fast paced in your face of "You Don't See Me", the sweet optimism of "Look To The Rainbow". The painful hurt of "A Rhyme" (This Time), the snatch you up and never let you go of "Never Givin' Up" (This Time), the skillful arrangement and power of "Spain" (This Time) and then the 80's came, "Moonlighting" was on TV and Al was singing the theme song. "Breaking Away" signaling a new direction for Jarreau and it has been hit and miss for me since. It wasn't until he released "T is for Tenderness" was I able to sit back and enjoy a whole cd from start to finish.

When I heard about a new release (Tomorrow Today), I was eager and excited about getting it. Well, I got it, had it and haven't played it more than three times in two years (unheard of for any Al Jarreau album, even for his least bests like High Crime).

Maybe I'm getting old. Maybe I don't have the tolerance for so-so music, I don't know. But I do know that I want the Al that I came to love back in the 70's and with each release, I hope I get it. With this one I didn't...

5.0 out of 5 stars Smooth And Silky
A versatile, genre-jumping vocalist equally at home scat-singing, warbling jazz tunes or emoting on Latin-pop and R&B ballads, Jarreau is too often dismissed as a lightweight. Read more
