 Al JarreauAll Fly Home Release Date 1978 Label Warner Bros. Rating:  With a restrained yet potent funk band and a few cameos from luminaries in the jazz world, Al Jarreau gets plenty of opportunities to wrap his rubbery, ever-changing timbre around an agreeable collection of tunes, the majority of which he wrote or co-wrote. Of the cover tunes, Jarreau completely transforms Kenny Loggins' &"Wait a Little While," the Beatles' &"She's Leaving Home" and Otis Redding's &"Dock of the Bay" into personal vehicles for vocal acrobatics, and his own &"Fly" revives his uncanny ability to skitter and sail along with a Brazilian-based rhythm track. Freddie Hubbard puts in a soulful guest appearance on flugelhorn on Dave Frishberg's &"I'm Home" and applies a more outgoing obligato to &"Fly"; Lee Ritenour and Paulinho Da Costa also make appearances on the record. While Jarreau could still be technically classified as a jazz singer at this point, he is really inhabiting a zone of his own. Richard S. Ginell, Rovi |
