Al Jarreau: Look Out, Al Jarreau's On His Way
David Nathan, Blues & Soul, April 1976
IT SEEMS like but a short time since we last spoke to a talented gentleman who has been hailed by many of his peers and people in the know in the music industry as one of the brightest and most exciting discoveries of the seventies. His name is Al Jarreau and his debut Reprise album, We Got By caused something of a sensation when it was released late last year.
