A dynamic live set from the young Al Jarreau – recorded in Germany during his first European Tour – and a concert that really shows the singer at the top of his game! Al's opened up here even past the genius of his early studio records – moving, grooving, and inflecting the tunes with that very unique style of his – which also includes some great use of the voice as instrument, alongside backing by a cool small group that features excellent keyboards from Tom Canning. If you only know Al's hits, or even one of his bigger albums, but can't figure him out – this is the material that may well open your ears – as the man really soars on tunes that include "Want To Be", "Lock All The Gates", "Agua De Beber", "Aladdin's Lamp", "Sweet Potato Pie", "Letter Perfect", "Your Song", "Take Five", and "You Don't See Me". https://www.dustygroove.com/item/857676?sf=al+jarreau+live+1976&incl_oos=1&incl_cs=1&kwfilter=al+jarreau+live+1976&sort_order=artist
