The voice of Al Jarreau is his musical instrument. He can do jazz, pop, R'n'B and even classical music in his own exclusive manner.
“I think the theme that's strongest in my music is the improvising theme. So, that even when I do pop songs or R'n'B there's improvising that I like to do,” Al Jarreau explained.
