Al Jarreau (1940 - 2017)

I was lucky to see him perform last year. He was wonderful, but it was obvious he was in a lot pain and could barely stand up, relying on a band member to basically carry him around. Al addressed the audience to describe his immobility as a result of bad spinal surgeries. 

RIP...

R.I.P. - I saw him perform in Frankfurt during his very first European tour, was impressed by his sensitivity. He lost me when me moved towards soul/pop more and more, but I always appreciated the rare occasions when he displayed his true jazz chops, like on Jon Hendricks' albums or his Accentuate the Positive album. Thanks for the moving moments I had with some of your singing, Mr. Jarreau!
