I popped Al Jarreau’s latest album The Very Best of: An Excellent Adventurein my DVD player and loved every minute of hearing his instrumental voice. What a jazz singer! Although at times, I thought it I was in an elevator or in Macy’s shopping. But still his music lives on and on. I would love to shop to Jarreau’s music any time and ride an elevator, too, with his music playing in the background.
The album even includes the theme from the late TV Show “Moonlighting” with other notables such as “Boogie Dance”, “Round, Round, Round” and the live recording of “Take Five”.
Celebrating his musical achievements legendary jazz singer Al Jarreau with Rhino presents The Very Best of: an Excellent Adventure, a 16-song compilation spanning Jarreau’s most notable recordings from the past through the present. Al Jarreau has spent decades bending genres with his stunning range and voice, earning him the rare distinction of being awarded a Grammy in three different categories: Pop, Jazz and R&B. Al Jarreau’s The Very Best Of: An Excellent Adventure is out now, in both digital and physical formats, and features a brand-new song, “Excellent Adventure,” recorded especially for this release. “Excellent Adventure” is no elevator music. It’s upbeat and fun and makes my day lively and fun. His voice is an instrument – jazzy and hip with a strong message to boot.
Screenhead has a copy of The Very Best of: An Excellent Adventure to give away. Simply post your name and we will pick the winner Monday, November 16, 2009.

I’ve loved Al Jarreau’s music since the ’70’s. His voice is an instrument, and he’s right up there with Johnny Mathis, Barbra Streisand and other greats in his vocalizing ability. I’d absolutely love to have this cd!

Al Jarreau is a classic artist, who unfortunately doesn’t get enough airtime on our local radio stations. Look forward to hearing more of Al in the near future.
