Al Jarreau: Breaking Away
Steve Bloom, Downbeat, February 1982
The sound is metallic and airy and generally reminiscent of a flute, but there is no flute. The next sound thumps and bomps like a conga drum, but there is no drum. Finally, we are treated to a Brazilian orchestra of snaps, crackles, and pops, but again, there is no orchestra. Ladies and gentlemen, jazz-pop singer Al Jarreau, a human synthesizer of sorts, is simply strutting his stuff.
