Live At Montreux 1993

Al Jarreau s July 6th 1993 performance at The Montreux Jazz Festival was his 5th of 11 appearances at this prestigious event. A jazz singer, who since 1981 with his breakout hit We re In This Love Together , had reintroduced and revitalized the style of jazz singing known as vocalese or scatting, was by 1993, a global star. With this concert he did something quite different and used it as a launching pad for what would be his new album.Apart from the aforementioned hit and She s Leaving Home , Alonzo , Puddit , Your Song , We Got By , You Don t See Me the other four songs were new to his repertoire. She s Leaving Home was from his 1978 album, All Fly Home , Alonzo came from his 1980 album This Time whilst Puddit (Put It Where You Want It) did not actually appear on record until 2000 on his first GRP album, Tomorrow Today . We Got By and You Don t See Me were originally on his first major LP release for Warner Reprise in 1975 entitled, We Got By . Your Song was featured on his second LP in 1976, Glow . We re In This Love Together of course came from his multi-platinum album, Breakin Away in 1981.
