Another rare performance with Jerry Hey and Chuck Findley live on horns. Larry Williams is on sax. I don't recognize the trombone player. Most likely is Bill Reichenbach. We're in this love together is followed by Breakin' away
Along with the Los Angeles session authority, it gets impossible to miss. Jarreau in its prime, together with Alex Acuna, George Canning, Jay Graydon, Lenny Castro, Jerry Hey, Bill Reichenbach, Larry Williams, Tom Canning, Richard Page, Carmen Twillie and Steve George, it's just too much to handle. In live TV, with the caliber of these players, how the world changed. I just wanna know what show was this. It's looking from 1981 or 82.
Man! This is awesome. If they had Steve Lukather in the first song and Jeff Porcaro in the second, I’d watch this video over and over and over and over……lol
I think that’s Chuck Finley on the trumpet with Jerry Hey. The horn arrangement is better than the albums version. The line up of musicians are pretty epic in this!!
This is the Al Jarreau that my ears fell in love with back in the early 80´s. Just love it, and it is very much like an old recording I used to have from Rockpalast with him and David Sanborn alternating and performing together as well. If anyone can post that I am eternally grateful.
Era un gran cantante como jugaba con su voz era extraordinaria me encanta escucharlo su música es un deleite escucharlo un grande mi querido Al Jarreu descanse en paz
While the rockers living to be a thousand the finest that our culture. Had to offer are gone not many still left but Al is an angel and his music will forever be growned in our hearts just happy to have been able to absorb his music while he was here
Al is my idol and one of my music favourites... since I've herad this performance for the first time, I wondered why he decided not to sing it in falsetto as in original... one of his rare bad decisions...
Alex Acuna on drums, Richard Page and Steve George on background vocals... can't make out the female BG vocalist though. I think it's Exile's bass player on bass.. I know he toured with Al back in the '80's.
and you've got Lenny Castro (Jeff Porcaro's percussion right-hand man) on additional percussion. good eye on Paich - the camera doesn't hit him enough to tell that it's him, but I believe you are correct.
Anybody have the SCTV version of Al singing this and Eugene Levy taking the sax ride as Sid Dithers !?! Hilalrious ! And Levy makes his ride seem so real. Thanx.
I'm from the D too! What about "Boogie Down" by Al Jarreau! Remember how DRQ used to play that to death back in '83 when they were still R&B and tryin' to beat JLB?
