It's the rare artist who is able to garner a following in multiple genres and sustain a career spanning decades. Al Jarreau was one of those few. Equally at home in jazz, pop, soul, or R&B quarters, his rich voice was a fixture on the radio from the 1970s on. In the jazz realm, his voice was rich and distinctive and in this hour we'll hear from Al and others as we dig some hip musical creativity.
