	All Fly Home New - LP - BSK 3229 Sealed 1978 Original. Features Freddie Hubbard, Lee Ritenour And Others. “With A Restrained Yet Potent Funk Band And A Few Cameos From Luminaries In The Jazz World, Al Jarreau Gets Plenty Of Opportunities To Wrap His Rubbery, Ever-Changing Timbre Around An Agreeable Collection Of Tunes, The Majority Of Which He Wrote Or Co-Wrote. Of The Cover Tunes, Jarreau Completely Transforms Kenny Loggins' "Wait A Little While," The Beatles' "She's Leaving Home" And Otis Redding's "Dock Of The Bay" Into Personal Vehicles For Vocal Acrobatics, And His Own "Fly" Revives His Uncanny Ability To Skitter And Sail Along With A Brazilian-Based Rhythm Track. Freddie Hubbard Puts In A Soulful Guest Appearance On Flugelhorn On Dave Frishberg's "I'm Home" And Applies A More Outgoing Obligato To "Fly"; Lee Ritenour And Paulinho Da Costa Also Make Appearances On The Record. While Jarreau Could Still Be Technically Classified As A Jazz Singer At This Point, He Is Really Inhabiting A Zone Of His Own.” Richard S. Ginell, AMG. more

	Breakin' Away New - LP - BSK 3576 Sealed 1981 All Analogue Original. Includes His Monster Hit "We're In This Love Together." “Released In 1981, Breakin' Away Is Not Only A Great Follow-Up To This Time, It All But Perfected The Effort. With An Amazing Batch Of Songs, Producer/Artist Chemistry, And Top-Level Players, Breakin' Away Became The Standard Bearer Of The L.A. Pop And R&B Sound. "Closer To Your Love" Comes Off As A Tougher, More Confident Version Of The Songs From The Previous Album. However, In Short Order, Breakin' Away Assumes Its Own Identity With Brilliant Results. Everything Works So Well Here That The Hit, The Pleasing "We're In This Love Together," Comes Off As The Weak Link. "Easy," With Its Gorgeous And Subtle Latin Flourishes, Has Jarreau's Purposeful Delivery Coming Off Oddly Poignant In Its Joy And Beauty. The Bittersweet "My Old Friend" Has Him Giving A Charming And Understated Reading With Gorgeous Synth Signatures That Speak Volumes. Most Of Breakin' Away Has Jarreau In Great Spirits And Giving One Great Performance After Another, Like The Powerful And Melody-Rich Title Song. Like His Best Albums, This Gives Jarreau Plenty Of Room To Exercise His Chops. He Struts Through The Funky And Elegant "Roof Garden," And On The Impressive "(Round, Round, Round) Blue Rondo A La Turk" He Offers Great Scats And Whimsical Lyrics. For The Final Track, Jarreau Brings New Life To "Teach Me Tonight" And It Has A Sweeping, Dreamy Arrangement. Produced By Jay Graydon, Breakin' Away Is A Great Album And Informed A Lot Of Jarreau's Subsequent Efforts.” Jason Elias, AMG. more

	L Is For Lover New - LP - 25477 Sealed, Hard To Find 1986 Original Cut By Robert Ludwig. “While Al Jarreau's Jazz Following Probably Ignored This 1986 Studio Release In Droves, They Missed A Gem, A Perhaps Surprisingly Scintillating Collaboration With One Of The Leading Dance-Music Producer/Guitarists Of The Time, Nile Rodgers (Late Of Chic). Not Only Did Rodgers And Jarreau Assemble Some Strong Tunes From Many Sources, Rodgers Took Advantage Of Jarreau's Rhythmic Capabilities, For Some Of The Material Is Too Deliciously Complicated For Any Old R&B Soulster To Pull Off. Hear The Way Jarreau Brilliantly Threads His Way Through The Rhythmically Complex Hornet's Nest Of "Says" In English And French, Or Savor The Sheer Ecstatic Energy Of The Chorus Of "Pleasure" And The Rapid-Fire List Of Cities In The Title Track; This Is First-Class Pop Recordmaking. While The Quality Of Material Tails Off In The Second Half Of The Program, The Great Tracks Early On Mark The Aesthetic Peak Of Jarreau's R&B Output Of The '80s. Unfortunately, Record Buyers Begged To Differ, For Other Than The Minor R&B Hit Single Status Of The Title Track, This Album Could Not Reverse AJ's Sales Slide.” – Richard S. Ginell, AMG more
	L Is For Lover Used - LP - 9 25477-1 1986 US original, Allied pressing. Glossy, VG++ vinyl. Jacket still in shrink. A polished mid-’80s release that blends R&B smoothness with pop sophistication. Produced by Nile Rodgers, L Is For Lover pairs crisp rhythms and sleek studio textures with Jarreau’s elastic phrasing and unmistakable vocal agility. The grooves are tight and radio-ready, balancing upbeat cuts with refined ballads. Confident and contemporary, this album captures Jarreau at the intersection of jazz-rooted vocal craft and mainstream crossover appeal. more

	This Time New - LP - BSK 3434 Sealed 1980 Original With Oval "Never Givin' Up." Hype Sticker On The Shrink Wrap. Crisp Corners. “Al Jarreau Finally Found Success In The U.S. After 1975's We Got By. The Later Albums That Followed ,Like 1977's Live Look To The Rainbow And 1978's All Fly Home Found Him Attaining The All-Important Cult Status And Accolades From The Jazz Community. Those Facts Made His Switch To Pop/R&B On This Time Even More Surprising. For This Time, Jarreau Is Paired With Producer Jay Graydon. Despite His Jazz Credentials, This Time Does Prove That This Style Is Where Jarreau Truly Prospers. The Jittery "Never Give It Up" And The Melodic And Pensive "Gimme What You Got" Have A Crisp And Refined L.A. Sound, And Jarreau Gives The Songs Weight With His Methodical Yet Playful Vocals. In The Same Vein, The Poignantly Sung And Arranged "Your Sweet Love" Displays Jarreau's Gift Of Ringing Emotion Where You'd Least Expect It. Jarreau Also Adds Deft Lyrics To Jazz Standards "(A Rhyme) This Time" And "(I Can Recall) Spain." The Best Song To Bridge The Gap Between The Two Incarnations, "Alonzo," Is Strikingly Beautiful And Has Jarreau Nearly Reaching Operatic Heights. During Its Release, This Time Was Stunning For Its Fresh Sound And A Sense Of Warmth. Upon Repeated Plays, Those Attributes Still Ring True.” Jason Elias, AMG. more
