An ambitious work by a vocalise master that opens up new musical possibilities.
This is a seminal album, marking Al Jarreau's shift to a more R&B-oriented sound. "Alonzo" showcases a grand scale and divine beauty, while his cover of Chick Corea's "Spain (I Can Recall)" elevates jazz tradition with his own unique interpretation. Featuring collaborations with George Duke, this album stands out for its expressive ability to effortlessly navigate the boundaries between funk and jazz.
