Favorite moment: Jarreau talking about why he doesn't use "dirty words" or "grab [himself]" on stage. "It's all about the music! You don't need that stuff!" @

Had the opportunity to see Jarreau for the first time 20 years ago, and then again the other night. Wow! He's definitely older, as we all are, but his energy is stunning to watch on stage. The concert was a great mix of older and newer songs. And no one knows as much about having fun with an audience as Jarreau. The band was incredibly tight, and I loved the chance to hear Chris Walker (a band member) sing up front with Al. They obviously enjoy singing together. This is one memory I'll treasure for a very long time.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening with Al Jarreau. He was entertaining and involved the audience in many of his songs, having us sing along, which was really special. His voice is so unique, and he's still super talented even into his senior years. It was a great evening, and the appreciation shown by the audience was amazing. His guitarist, Chris Walker, has a fantastic voice, and a long career ahead of him. His song "How Do You Heal a Broken Heart" was beautiful.

Favorite moment: Would have liked to hear more of the oldies but there was not a bad song in the entire concert. @

Opening act(s): The Symphony played for the first hour. They were excellent but they played Irish songs due to the coming St. Patricks Day. Not my favorite. The Symphony however was still enjoyable. @

Al Jarreau was unbelievable. He was everything and more. His sense of humor between songs was engaging. There is no one like him. A true musician. Have been listening to him for 30 years and never had the opportunity to see him in person till now. So glad we did. He sang a wide range of his music and it was truly special with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra by his side. An opportunity not to be missed.

Mr. Jarreau was wonderful. And CSO were great backing him up. I only WISH that they could really make people NOT TAKE PICTURES ON THEIR CELL PHONES during the shows!!!! It is so annoying, to say the least. The lady I HAD to sit next to RECORDED most of the show ON HER PHONE!!!!!! It is so RUDE and REALLY takes away form the show itself.

If you were not at The Ohio Theatre then you missed the performance of your lifetime. How could you go wrong with Al Jarreau and The CSO on a beautiful evening in an amazing venue.It was 3 days before his 73rd birthday,and yes he's aged but the MAGIC in his voice was still there.

Al Jarreau was very entertaining and connected with the audience so well.

If 60 is, as they say, the new 40, then perhaps 72 is the new 35; at least as it applied to Al Jarreau's performance with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra on Saturday night at the Ohio Theater. As always, Mr. Jarreau was as smooth as silk, never missing a note, and, in fact, making up several of his own notes along the way, as one might expect from the world's greatest jazz singer. The orchestra behind him was an excellent touch. I don't know anything about playing an instrument, but I imagine that it must not be easy for any musician to anticipate and play along according to whatever comes up in a jazz performer's mind and his interpretation of the moment. Nevertheless, Columbus's own responded wonderfully, and it was fun to see that at least two of the cellists on chairs to the left of the stage--to the audience's right--cut loose and were into the jazz element of their work as much as any enthusiastic club musician might have been. Meanwhile, it is obvious that Jarreau still enjoys his work in front of crowds, as he nearly had to be dragged away from us kicking and screaming--or, at least, kicking and scatting--by Mr. Baird, Jarreau's orchestra conductor, who warned the singer that they were already into overtime and that if they failed to leave the stage then, they risked not getting paid. One usher earned her keep when she nearly tackled an obviously drunk stage-rusher near the end of the show. If only someone had shown similar diligence in asking the annoying loudmouth guy in the front row to the far right to stop shouting and allow the rest of us to enjoy the show.

First saw Al over 30 years ago & he continues to put on a great show! It is impressive how he has aged gracefully and tailored his performances to reflect the fact that he is 73 years old.

I would and will always recommend Al Jarreau. Unfortunately I can't recommend the Columbus Symphony. This was our first and probably last experience with the CSO. They took one of the Jazz / RnB greats and pulled him off the stage - evidently because of union timelines. What a horrible way to see - probably for the last time - Al.
Disappointed!

I have always loved Al Jarreau, but unfortunately, in his March 9 performance at the Ohio Theater, he was drowned out by the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. The concert itself had low energy and seemed to drag on and on. I was disappointed.

I heard my first Al Jarreau album (yes, album) in 1984 and was immediately hooked. Since then, I have seen Mr. Jarreau perform many times. And even though he's almost 30 years older than the first time I saw him live, he's still got it!

Ramsey opened the show and put my mind, body and spirit at ease as he tickled the keys. He is so elegant and is crew was awesome. The drummer had my foot tapping and heart racing.

Monsieur Jarreau was touched. While he may not dance, the man can still sing and tickeled my heart with his humor andl joiedevie!!! His ensemble was special. The young men have skills.

Any body wann go dancing....I sure did!!!
