      *Jazz/pop/R&B crooner Al Jarreau has tapped hip hop staple Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson of the Roots to produce the first single from his upcoming album "Al Jarreau – The Very Best Of: An Excellent Adventure," due Sept. 29 release on Rhino.
 
       Titled "Excellent Adventure," the track was collectively helmed by Richard Nichols and the Randy Watson Experience -- a production/songwriting duo comprised of songwriter James Poyser and ?uestlove, according to Billboard.com.
      
       Other songs slated to appear in the 16-song compilation include "We Got By," the title track from his 1975 major-label debut; "Take Five," from "Look To The Rainbow," which earned him the 1977 Grammy for Best Vocal; "(Round, Round, Round) Blues Rondo A La Turk," the 1981 Grammy winner for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance; and "Moonlighting," the theme song from the hit television show by the same name starring Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis.
