His peak. Fabulous performances. Exceptionally good songs. Perfect production. If you do not instantly find yourself in a better place after listening to "Mornin'", then you have a heart of stone. From the lush arrangements of "Nitakungodea Milele" to the synth-funk of "Boogie Down" to the heartbreakingly gorgeous "Not Like This", this album is a masterwork. He had a few others that were close, but nothing that ever matched "Jarreau" for sheer brilliance. Thank you, Al.
Mornin' gets 5 stars

Mornin' is one of my absolutely favorite songs. It makes me smile and cheers up my day - what more can anyone ask for?
Wow! WHUR radio with the late Melvin Lindsey in DC introduced me to the splendor of Jarreau!

I still have my store-bought original cassette of this early '80s Jarreau LP. It was worn out on my old AIWA walkman.
From start to finish, this album was da bomb for me getting to and from college via the Metro in our nation's capital.
Thanks guys and gals of Itunes for placing this one on for many to enjoy as I still do.
Black and Blues...

Black and Blues is one of my favorite songs the Southern Univ Marching Band plays. It makes you appreciate the original even more. Other HBCU bands play it as well, but the S.U. Jaguars set the trend way back. You can find it on you tube.
This Cd is a classic with hits like Mornin' and Boogie Down as well.

Thanks to I Tunes for finally expanding the Jarreau library. Can't go wrong with any of Al's works, especially in the 80's. This one, Heart's Horizon, High Crime, and L is for Lovers. The newer additions to the I tunes fold. Thanks again. Enjoy.
It Been A Long Time Coming

I purchase " BREAKING AWAY" about a month ago, which is my favorite Al Jarreau album of all time . My next one is " JARREAU". I was disappointed that I-Tunes did not have it at that time. Now I am so happy that they have this album available. Thanks I-Tunes you have made my day!!!!!! I use to have both of these albums when I was in my last year of High School!!!!
A Modern Jazz classic finally arrives on iTunes!

This is an album that I have long missed since hearing it and wearing out my cassette in the '80s. Al Jarreau finds the sweet spot between jazz exploration and pop structure. Many will hear the song "Mornin'" and suddenly feel taken back to a day that was a happier one. The song lifts every heavy heart and lightly carries one into a soft breezy sunny day of the mind.
For the longest time I have been waiting for this to appear on iTunes, finally giving in and finding a CD at a second hand store. Wouldn't luck have it....it now appears the same day on iTunes! A classic lost to the commerce of selective CD pressing, iTunes gives all of us a chance to hear Mr. Jarreau's shining moments of a long and bright career all over again.
