A soulful journey through the sky with smooth vocals.
Produced by Jay Graydon and Tommy LiPuma, this album is a rich vocal album featuring a perfect fusion of jazz and R&B, with Al Jarreau's scat singing and rhythmic sense standing out.
Jarreau's vocals dance freely amidst a softly grooving bass line and a precise rhythm section. On "All Fly Home" and "Thinkin' About It Too," he effortlessly crosses the boundary between jazz and pop, with his scat singing resonating like a rhythm instrument. The harmony between Graydon's guitar and lyrical piano is also superb, creating a coexistence of sophistication and warmth. This is one of his signature albums, which won a Grammy Award for "Best Jazz Vocal Performance."
