The beloved platinum seller, known the world over for his hits “We’re in This Love Together,” “Mornin’,” and theme from the TV series “Moonlighting,” started along his path of music crafting an inebriating blend of Jazz standards with Pop hits of the day.Wow, a recently unearthed live radio recording discovered by Grammy-nominated produer Zev Feldman – “The Jazz Detective” – is a 10-song treasure. Releasing as a limited-edition 2-LP set on November 29 as part of Record Store Day’s Black Friday Event, and as a deluxe CD and Digital Download on December 6, 2024 on Resonance Records, it 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 Harrold club. Backed by a trio led by longtime collaborator Tom Canning on keyboards, Jarreau fervently and purposefully proves in this pristine recording why it was only going to be two more years before he catapulted to international superstardom.
