SUMMARY:GERALD ALBRIGHT
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Los Angeles\, Albright was already an acco
 mplished saxophonist by the time he enrolled at the University of Redlan
 ds\, but he switched to bass after he saw Louis Johnson in concert. A fe
 w months after graduating from college\, he joined jazz pianist/R&B sing
 er Patrice Rushen\, who was in the process of forming her own band. Late
 r\, when the bassist left in the middle of a tour\, Albright replaced hi
 m and finished the tour on bass guitar. Playing both sax and bass\, he b
 ecame the consummate session and touring musician in the 80s\, working w
 ith everyone from Anita Baker\, Ray Parker\, Jr.\, Atlantic Starr\, The 
 Temptations\, and Maurice White to Les McCann\, Teena Marie\, the Winans
 \, and Whitney Houston. He launched his solo career in the infancy of wh
 at became the smooth jazz format\, with Just Between Us in 1987\, and ha
 s been a core part of the genre with chart-topping albums\, countless ra
 dio hits\, and as a member of many all-star tours\, including Guitars & 
 Saxes and Groovin’ For Grover. In the late 90s\, he fronted a big band a
 nd toured with pop star Phil Collins and did a dual recording with vocal
  great Will Downing called Pleasures of the Night. Between his last two 
 Grammy-nominated solo albums\, Pushing The Envelope (2010) and Slam Dunk
  (2014)\, he enjoyed hit collaborations with two huge hits – 24/7 with g
 uitarist Norman Brown and Summer Horns by Dave Koz and Friends (includin
 g Mindi Abair and Richard Elliot)\, which were also Grammy-nominated for
  Best Pop Instrumental Albums. He toured with Brown and Summer Horns\, a
 nd most recently has been on the road with South African gospel/jazz sin
 ger and guitarist Jonathan Butler. Albright’s other albums\, whose title
 s perfectly reflect their flow\, include Smooth (1994)\, Groovology (200
 2)\, Kickin’ It Up (2004)\, and Sax for Stax (2008). Because Albright’s 
 musical muse has taken him to so many fascinating locales along the cont
 emporary R&B/urban jazz spectrum\, he’s joyfully defied easy categorizat
 ions. “Top to bottom\,” Albright says\, “Whether in concert\, listening 
 to my music over the radio or CD player\, I always want my listeners to 
 be taken on a musical journey with different textures\, rhythms\, chord 
 progressions\, and moods. I want people to know where I’ve been and wher
 e I’m going\, and to let them hear that I’m in a really good place in my
  life.”\n\nTickets: https://www.etix.com/ticket/p/45160698/gerald-albrig
