‘Wow! Live in Performance at the Childe Harold’ is a stunning, powerful and passionate performance by the legendary singer and songwriter Al Jarreau, captured at his first appearance in Washington, DC in August of 1976.

The limited-edition 180-gram 2-LP set will be mastered and cut all-analog by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, and include liner notes by acclaimed music writer A. Scott Galloway and an essay about the Childe Harold by former Washington Post music critic Richard Harrington plus interviews with artists who knew or were inspired by Al Jarreau.
This exhilarating and driving performance highlights Jarreau at an amazing time in his career, swinging for the fences.
