Jarreau teams up again with Tommy LiPuma and Al Schmitt who produced Al’s second and third albums, and with the incredible backup band of Anthony Wilson on guitar, Peter Erskine on drums, and Christian McBride on bass. Larry Goldings ... adds some really special moments on the Hammond B-3 organ on “I’m Beginning to See the Light,” and Keith Anderson’s tenor sax is the perfect compliment to Al’s voice in “Cold Duck and “Ac-cent-tchu-ate the Positive.”

Jarreau's nightclub work began to expand, eventually branching out to include engagements in New York City. He crisscrossed the country for the next six years, and performed on television variety shows on occasion. Jarreau was discovered in 1974, when he opened a show for Les McCann at the Troubadour in Hollywood. Several record company executives were in the audience, and his performance earned him a record contract. Two weeks later he was in the studio recording his debut album.
