treasures. His innovative musical
expressions have made him one of
the most exciting and critically-
acclaimed performers of our time
with five GRAMMY Awards,
scores of international music
awards, and popular accolades
worldwide.

not always the major force in his
life. He excelled in sports and was

with a trio headed by George
Duke, and by the late 60’s, he
knew without a doubt that he
would make singing his life.
Relocating to Los Angeles, he
began his apprenticeship in such
famed nightspots as Dino’s, the
Troubador, and the Bitter End
West.
Shortly thereafter, he branched
out to New York City. He gained

exposure with Johnny Carson,
Merv Griffin, David Frost, and
Mike Douglas as he teamed with
guitarist Julio Martinez and
appeared on the bill with up-and-
coming comics John Belushi,
Bette Midler, Robert Klien, David

was released to unanimous
acclaim. It was a reception that
spread through the continent and
across the Atlantic when Jarreau

High Crime, spawned a string of
R&B and pop hits and further
cemented him as an international
superstar. Al Jarreau Five In
London, recorded before an SRQ
crowd at Wembley Arena in 1985,
continued to solidify Jarreau’s
reputation as a world class master
of both studio and stage.
Following the live album, Jarreau
teamed with top producer Nile
Rodgers for L is For Lover, which
brought some new styles and
sounds to the singer’s repertoire.
He continued to top the stateside
charts in 1987 and became a
weekly guest in America’s living
rooms singing the GRAMMY-
nominated theme song for the hit
television series Moonlighting.

recording of the Heart’s Horizon
album, which contained the #2
R&B smash “So Good” and
earned him another GRAMMY
nomination, this time for Best
R&B Album. After touring the
globe for nearly two years, he
returned to the studio—this time
with Narada Michael Walden—to
fashion the sound' that would
launch him into his third decade of
music-making. The result was
