Once you discover that you can, then you must. And it's not easy. You have to take direct steps. You really have to count your blessings and you have to make a decided effort to not get seduced by the blues.

–Al Jarreau, American Singer and Songwriter

Al Jarreau, Spain from ``Live Under the Sky 1990´´ (listen here)

(English / Español / Italiano)

Eight years ago the amazing Al Jarreau left us. A voice that was an instrument, a tale, a journey. It was as if his notes always knew where to go, like a feather blown by a light wind, capable of touching every corner of the soul.

Al sang, and meanwhile told stories, not with words, but with sounds that tasted of life, of joy, of melancholy. Listening to him you could hear the whole world, jazz flirting with soul, pop bowing to the elegance of his art. A perfect synthesis, but never rigid: he was free, sinuous, capable of invention and surprise.

Some voices never die, they continue to resonate, perhaps late at night, when everything is quieter and you are lulled by a song like Mornin' or We're in This Love Together. Al Jarreau still lives there, among those notes, suspended in an eternal ‘now’. And we are still here, listening to him sing and… dreaming!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hace ocho años nos dejó el increíble Al Jarreau. Una voz que era un instrumento, un relato, un viaje. Era como si sus notas siempre supieran adónde ir, como una pluma soplada por un viento ligero, capaz de tocar todos los rincones del alma.

Al cantaba, y mientras tanto contaba historias, no con palabras, sino con sonidos que sabían a vida, a alegría, a melancolía. Escuchándole se podía oír el mundo entero, el jazz coqueteando con el soul, el pop arrodillándose ante la elegancia de su arte. Una síntesis perfecta, pero nunca rígida: era libre, sinuoso, capaz de inventar y sorprender.

Algunas voces nunca mueren, siguen resonando, quizá a altas horas de la noche, cuando todo está más tranquilo y te arrulla una canción como Mornin' o We're in This Love Together. Al Jarreau sigue viviendo ahí, entre esas notas, suspendido en un eterno «ahora». Y nosotros seguimos aquí, escuchándole cantar y… ¡soñando!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Otto anni fa ci lasciava lo strabiliante Al Jarreau. Una voce che era uno strumento, un racconto, un viaggio. Era come se le sue note sapessero sempre dove andare, come una piuma sospinta da un vento leggero, in grado di toccare ogni angolo dell’anima.

Al cantava, e nel frattempo narrava storie, non con le parole, ma con suoni che sapevano di vita, di gioia, di malinconia. Ascoltandolo si poteva sentire il mondo intero, il jazz che flirtava con il soul, il pop che s’inchinava all’eleganza della sua arte. Una sintesi perfetta, ma mai rigida: lui era libero, sinuoso, capace di inventare e di sorprendere.

Certe voci non muoiono mai, continuano a risuonare, magari a tarda notte, quando tutto è più quieto e ci si lascia cullare da un brano come Mornin’ o We’re in This Love Together. Al Jarreau vive ancora lì, tra quelle note, sospeso in un eterno “adesso”. E noi siamo ancora qui, a sentirlo cantare e… a sognare!
