Al Jarreau, a versatile crooner known for scat singing, has won seven Grammys across jazz, pop, and R&B over four decades. His second GRP/Verve album, All I Got, features 11 songs showcasing his imaginative vocal style. The album blends urban innovation with soulful, jazzy, and romantic elements. Producer Paul Brown’s urban sound shapes tracks like “Random Act of Love” and “Secrets of Love.” Jarreau’s a cappella “Route 66” and the title track highlight his layered storytelling. “Random Act of Love” offers a fresh take on countering street violence. The gospel-infused “Feels Like Heaven to Me” reveals Jarreau’s depth. “Until You Love Me” and “Jacaranda Bougainvillea” pair his vocals with lush string orchestras. Featuring Freddie Ravel and a duet with Joe Cocker, the album surpasses the versatility of Tomorrow Today. All I Got showcases Jarreau’s diverse, award-winning artistry in fluid, soulful settings.
