On this episode of The Art of the Story, we hear about the significance of discovering Al Jarreau’s WOW! Live at the Child Harold recording from 1976.
The late iconic singer Al Jarreau, the beloved platinum seller, known the world over for his hits “We’re in This Love Together,” “Mornin’,” the theme from the TV series “Moonlighting,” started along his path of music, crafting a beautiful blend of Jazz standards with Pop hits of the day.
The live radio recording was discovered by Grammy-nominated producer Zev Feldman and is a 10-song treasure on Resonance Records.
The new record captures a still-developing Jarreau captivating an audience on a hot August Saturday night in Washington, D.C. at the city’s intimate, historic, and cherished Childe Harold Club. Backed by a trio led by longtime collaborator Tom Canning on keyboards, Jarreau, purposely proves in this pristine record why it was only going to be two more years before he catapulted to international stardom.
