He croons upon smooth jazz landscapes, territory blazed before him and after him by multitudes, but his voice always belongs to the music. Songs never seem quite as trite as they could be when graced by his tender touch. On TOMORROW TODAY, the esteemed Mr. Jarreau wraps his vocals around 11 new tunes-some peppy, others sweet and slow-with the usual alluring results. The solo ballads provide the album's most stunning moments, as Jarreau's voice glides through such beautiful jazz-pop torchers as "Just to Be Loved" and "Let Me Love You." He tackles the issues facing the youth of America with verve on the title track. Vanessa Williams drops in to lend her talents to the pop nugget "God's Gift to the World." True tribute to the subtle joy in Jarreau's voice lies in the final track, an ultra-cute a cappella children's song entitled "Puddit (Put it Where You Want it)," a jaunt both fun and impressive. Jarreau fits into whatever world one wishes to put him. His sweet voice will never go out of style.
