Something tells me Al Jarreau is getting his Boogie Down in Heaven right now.

Very sad. He was a great, great singer. “Roof Garden” remains one of my all-time favorites.

Someone who could actually sing Brubeck’s “Take Five”? Like that? He was a musical god. And by all accounts a bubbaleh as well. R.I.P., great one.

The great ones tend not to care much about categories or genres. It’s all music to them. RIP.

Loved his absolutely unique take on “Blue Skies”, with Wayne Shorter.
