Six-time Grammy-winning jazz vocalist and University of Iowa graduate Al Jarreau returns to his alma mater for a public discussion Thursday, Sept. 18, in advance of his Sept. 19 performance at the Iowa Soul Festival.
Al speaks about healing. This is what he did through his music. I was lucky to be in 12 of his live-concerts and these moments always gave me a push for life. Can be seen after 42:09 when Al does "Take five" - his musical direktor Joe Turano is standing next to him and - smiling. 🙂 Al was enriching people and making this world a better place and this is, what music should be about. Thanks Al Jarreau and rest in peace. 🥰💐
What a beautiful and humble human being. The enthusiastic style was so sincere. As anyone who was fortunate enough to hear him live was treated to a piece of heaven. 15 people hearing him means 15 people were exposed to the abilities, enthusiasm, humor, recollections, and beauty of Al Jarreau. We all benefited from his stay on earth.
Al was a such humble man . What waste of time sit in front 15 people to talk about his life that most of them doesn't know or never followed his career.
It says about his great personality. I am sure there wasn't waste time for Al. There could be more more more people around the world like Al to make world better and to be good to the others. Thank you Al for being here on that beautiful planet. You are in my heart forever.:)
