Al Jarreau – 1965
1965 is an album by Al Jarreau, released in 1982 on Bainbridge Records. The album contains material recorded by Jarreau in 1965. Bainbridge Records acquired the rights to the recordings in 1968. Originally slated to be released in May 1982 under the tile My Favorite Things, Jarreau issued a temporary restraining order against the release of the album. The court initially favored Jarreau, but the label filed an appeal, stating that the album is a studio recording rather than a demo tape. Eventually, the decision was reversed and the album was released in July under the name 1965.
Personnel:
Bass – Gary Allen Drums – Joe Abodeely Piano – Cal Bezemer Vocals – Al Jarreau
Reception.
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars and stated:”More than ten years before he began to receive notice, Al Jarreau sat in with some friends in Illinois and recorded this superb album, his only strictly “pure jazz” recording to date. Accompanied by pianist Cal Bezemer, bassist Gary Allen and drummer Joe Abodeely, Jarreau already sounded quite recognizable. He comes across as a superior jazz singer on such numbers as “My Favorite Things,” “A Sleeping Bee” and “One Note Samba,” making this little-known LP (not yet reissued on CD) the high point of his jazz career, even though he apparently was not happy with its release over 15 years later. The album shows what could have been had Al Jarreau had the desire to be a jazz singer rather than chasing the money.”
