Al Jarreau is a rare and wonderful talent that comes along once in a lifetime. I've been a fan since his first album "We Got By". He touched my soul from the very beginning and will always hold a special place in my musical heart. I would have given 5 stars but he teased me by talking about his first album and he even spoke some of the lyrics to one of his most prolific songs and the title of the first album but didn't sing anything from it. I need to see him again with the hope of hearing him sing something from his first.....nothing but Love YOU Mr. Jarreau.

Listening to Al Jarreau's CDs cannot come close to a live performance in New York. I was totally mensmerized by his voice. He performed many of my favorites that touched my heart. He took the time to reminisce about his career through the years. I truly felt that I was in this love together. Al Jarreau exceeded my expectations of what a night at the Blue Note should be like. Just fantastic!!!!!

I really enjoyed this show and thought Jeffery Osborne gave the performance of a lifetime. Al Jarreau was simply his outstanding self and wowed his audience like always.

Al was great in the eighties but unfortunately is past his prime. I liked his band more than his vocals. Sorry

Great show. Al Jarreau is a wonderful singer and performer. Older, a bit unsteady, but still a magnificent voice, stylist, and spirit. Fabulous, funky, jazzy band. Long set, too! Left Town Hall on a cloud of musical positivity.

Although he's exhibiting some infirmity, it certainly doesn't show in the outstanding performance he gave the audience the other night. Jarreau still has it; don't miss him if he comes to your area; it's a treat.

Grew up listening to Al Jarreau in the 70's and 80's. His songs brought back good memories. Great night, great performance!

Al Jarreau loves giving a live performance and it shows! He engages the audience and this was an evening I won't forget. Definitely a "must see" concert!

Jarreau is a master vocalist and performer. He is supported by a talented band. I am so glad I saw this show. The crowd loves him and he is a master at engaging and involving the audience in his show. I can't recommend him enough. You leave his concerts feeling so happy and so good.

My husband and I saw Al Jarreau Wednesday evening and once again, at 74 years of age, he never ceased to provide one of the most top quality jazz and R&B concerts on the planet. Having seen Mr. Jarreau perform many times since 1990 and in many different venues, my heart was singing and yearning for more, just like always. What a night and what a charming man!

I saw the promo for the Al Jarreau concert at the McCoy Center very late. The last time I had seen Mr. Jarreau in concert was in the early '80s. The remaining tickets were in the last row on the floor. McCoy Center is an excellent venue,and the tickets were good. Mr. Jarreau has been performing for over 50 years, he has health issues, but the performance was as strong as ever. The band was his and looked like they were having a great time. Three cheers for Al Jarreau, his band and the McCoy Center.

Jeffrey Osborne was fabulous. Very entertaining and included the audience with audience participation....Even included some George Duke....absolutely entertaining....I could see the show again and again. Al Jarreau is a legend; enjoyed him as well.

This is one of my favorite concerts ever. I've loved Al's music since 1980 when I first saw him live. He continues to sing beautifully and is a joy to hear. He engaged the audience and it felt like he truly enjoyed the evening himself. Jeffrey was amazing - his vocals were perfect and he had the entire crowd on their feet for much of his set. I would go to this concert again anytime - simply the best.

This concert was by far the best my husband and I have ever attended. Jeffrey was a beast, but Al??? OMG he was incredible. I'll never forget this. I'd love to see Al in a more private setting so that I can just focus on him and his music.

This was one of the best concerts that I'd been to in a while. Jeffrey Osborne opened the show, and he did not disappoint. He was awesome. Al Jarreau was fantastic. Both artists engaged the audience, and I enjoyed the stories behind the songs. If either singer returns to this area, I'm there!

Jeffrey Osborne opened the show....that should change. He should close the show, because Al Jarreau has "lost it". What I mean by that is Al Jarreau is frail, and lacking stage presence. His voice is weak. He is difficult to hear when "vocalizing" and unable to reach notes (heard/sung in the past). On the other hand......Jeffrey Osborne held the audience in the palm of his hand. He commanded the stage, lots of energy. He included the crowd in sing-a-longs(not usually my favorite "thing" as I don't attend live shows to hear the audience sing....) but he was so charismatic and entertaining.

This was a fantastic show. Al Jarreau and Jeffery Osborne sang all of their hits. It was a great experience listening to real musicians singing in tune without the use of auto tune. Wish there were more young people in the audience to learn and appreciate this style of music.

When I told friends I was going to see Al Jarreau, the response most given was "That's cool. He's still alive?" The answer is a resounding "yes". It's hard to believe that Mr. Jarreau has been at it for 50+ years. His voice and performance were amazing, and the only sign of his age was some difficulty he had getting around. The song selection, the fantastic band, and most of all, Al's connection to the audience and the material, made it a very special night. And then, after catching our collective breath, Jeffrey Osborne came out and lit it up with a great set, including a few trips into the audience. He also hasn't lost a thing as far as that great voice. I might have liked to hear some more of his solo stuff (he really focused on LTD), but it was fantastic. If you have a chance to go see either or both of these icons, do it! Also, they both have new albums out that are phenomenal. (Yes, I said albums.)

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed the show. Though the years are passing (too quickly) Al Jarreau and David Sanborn showed they are still at the top of their game, are masters of the art, and are equal to none. They are true masters of performance and jazz.

mr jarreau was nothing less than amazing .. he is so incredibly gifted and always puts on an excellent show .. i was so happy that he did a lot of his older songs and a touch of his new cd being released later this month .. rumor has it he will be slowing down his tour schedule .. i can only hope he will return to his hometown soon!

I attended from Bermuda. This was my first time attending and it will not be my last. For me it was an excellent 4 day week end. It was well organized, safe atmosphere. The line-up was great. This event is on my calender for next year and other events held there.

Sunday was the best night of the Jazz Fest! It was a beautiful day the sounds were great. Kirk Whelum was the boom. I only wish I could have afforded to go all 3 days plus the after party. Maybe next year!

This was my first Jazz Festival, I always watched it on BET. I was wowed by the many groups, food, vendors and the weather. I stayed all day and had a ball! I would say it was action packed and would go again without hesitation.

I would definitely recommend the Capital Jazz Festival to any Jazz/R&B/Soul music lover. The talent line up was great and there was a nice variety of food and crafts during breaks. I was pleasantly surprised by how helpful the venue staff members were. I purchased 3-day passes and one of my seats was broken. Although they were unable to fix my seat, they immediately relocated us each night to much better seats. :-) The only drawback to the 3-Day Pass is that they give you the same seat each night. So you have to get them really early. I could have gotten better seats by purchasing tix for each night individually. I bought tix for friends on a single night and they were better than the seats that I had for the 3-Day Pass.

So we spent the extra money to have really good seats. We were located in the third row from the stage. It was GREAT!!! All the artist just rocked house. We were there all day Saturday from 7am until 9pm.

This was my first time attending the Capital Jazz Festival and it definitely will be an every year occurance from now on! I was so impressed and excited to be there I called my friend and told her not to make plans for next year because I'm taking her with me. So much energy among the crowd and the artists were awesome! My favorites were Kirk Whalum and, of course, Al Jarreau! Great sound too! I can't wait until next year!!

This is my 5th year attending the Jazz Fest at Merriweather and the line up of artists continues to be examplary. I had a friend who attended for the first time this year and she said that this festival was far better than Hampton's and that she will change venues and attend Merriweather from now on. The layout has gotten better over the years, although tents are no longer allowed on the main lawn. That took some getting use to, but I believe that it adds to everyone's enjoyment since tents often blocked the views and pathways of others. The food and retail vedors are diverse and plentiful...overall good time. My only complaint for this years was the horrible mud. Since it rained on the days preceding the festival, there was nothing that could have been done about "Mother Nature"; however, I believe that Merriweather could have done a better job of laying down straw in highly traveled areas. There did not appear to be a great deal of effort displayed. I look forward to next year's festival at Merriweather...hopefully the venue will not change.

Al's performance was just as stunning as the first time that we saw him at the Greek Theater at UC Berkeley over 30 years ago! It was heart breaking to see how badly his physical health has deteriorated but his performance was as strong if not stronger than that of a 30 year old man. His last performance in Lake Tahoe was 1994 and I strongly believe that he will not return.

As Al is helped out onto the stage and takes his seat at the microphone, one is reminded of the passage of time. Al likes to tell the audience that age has taken his legs, his hair and his eyes, but he still has his throat. How true that is. It was a delight to spend a couple of hours with the greatest jazz singer of our age. His band is extraordinary. The overall performance and aura of the evening was completely positive and upbeat. Al entertains with fantastic renditions of his own classics and the work of others. The audience is caught up in his infectious optimism and the obvious love for what he does: entertain us with his voice. I feel blessed to have been able to spend the evening together.
