Both my parents are jazz musicians, they introduced me to Al when I was about 6, from the first time I heard Spain I was astonished. He has been my hero for the last 11 years, I don't care that no one else my age listens to this music (real music). Al Jarreau is amazing and I'm so glad to be influenced by him.

[caddxprt]

@hmart47 Very well then- Welcome to the world of "real music", hmart47!

[hmart47]

@caddxprt It's been a while, but thank you. :-)

[JimiGoode]

Love Al Jarreau &, even more, John Coltrane. Here, Jarreau sings original lyrics, but accompaniment is clearly rooted in way(s) that Coltrane played it (& a bit in Miles' "Kind of Blue"). Trane's recorded versions start w/ LP (now CD) "My Favorite Things" from 1960. That LP, along w/ "Kind of Blue," awoke in me, at 19, a love for jazz almost as great as my love for classical since age 2. Trane recorded "Favorite Things" many times; many are great. Now I got to get this Jarreau CD--if I can!

[gre68]

wow, this is a nat Cole way of singing

[caddxprt]

A glass of wine and Jarreau...perfect combination!

Thanks for droppin' by bowdred.

[bowdred]

listening while enjoying a glass of wine. al jarreau is super talented.

[OrlyDudeGuy]

his voice sounds like johnny mathis' in this song, especially when stresses a word like mathis does in his songs.

[1984IcameandIstayed]

genius

[temoring1]

Love, love LOVE Al. Thanks for posting this. "My Favorite Things" has always been one of my favorite songs, and he makes it even better!

[wcellerbe]

So, one of the greatest jazz improvs takes one of the best songs ever and makes it better!!!! Wow! Al....go head!!!!!!!!

[g2000edwin]

One of the better version. I like the original! But, I differently love Al's version! ahahahah, I tried to sing it! ahahah, He's the best! Had fun trying to keep up with him though!

Great human being he is too!

[FTWWHM]

what album is this off?

[caddxprt]

@FTWWHM from the album "1965"

[billcottles]

@FTWWHM

My Favorite Things is the name of the album

[billcottles]

@FTWWHM I got that title, from a compilation of 1965 and Ain't No Sunshine, so I think "1965" is the actual album this was released on.

[fatmunchy]

i like this and i like take five

[yesfan951]

God this is awesome!

[cdjblue52]

He recorded this with Kathleen Battle (not sure of spelling). It's breathtaking.  Can you post it please?

[stevevandien]

I used to have this album, and it's wonderful to find much of it on YouTube. I like most of Jarreau's stuff before he went largely pop, but don't think he's ever truly topped his work on "Al Jarreau 1965 --" his backup combo here is terrific as well -- 

[Quantanthead]

My favorite version of this song.

[sheaintsaying]

Yes, this is the man I fell for in 1975 after hearing "We Got By" for the very first time.

Simply perfection.

[byls77]

Just GREAT

[EverlordJesus]

The piano solo so was off the "heezee" like dancing on clouds.

Super smooth.

[RaceIsOpen]
