The latest is his collaboration with the Metropole Orkest, where this Live CD available on June 18 showcases this meeting, reflecting the best of the two evenings spent by Al Jarreau with this orchestra of 53 musicians in Den Bosch, Netherlands. Conducted by Vince Mendoza, the Metropole Orkest accompanies Al Jarreau through 11 songs from the artist's celebrated repertoire. Another way to rediscover them with this new orchestration where Al Jarreau places the audience in a completely contemporary experience. The lively, energetic, and classic \"Cold Duck\" opens the album, confirming from the start his supremacy in front of an orchestra of this magnitude. It is followed by \"Jacaranda Bougainvillea\" with a committed text evoking apartheid, but also a vibrant interpretation of \"We are in this love together.\" In \"Midnight Sun,\" Ruud Breuls' trumpet solo magnifies Al Jarreau's mythical ballad, while the very rhythmic \"Scootcha-Booty\" leads into the finale of the exotic \"Spain (I Can Recall),\" resonating with trombone and tenor saxophone. By performing songs from his own repertoire or covering great classics, Al Jarreau creates a coherence between the two, offering a melodic and harmonic approach from a new perspective, creating the unexpected, and this is what this live performance of Al Jarreau with the Metropole Orkest proves.","brand":"Al Jarreau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57825445019992,"sku":null,"price":20120618.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/al-jarreau_al-jarreau-and-the-metropole-orkest-live_2012_uni","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
