Description

“Gerald Albright burns on his soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxes … his instincts for groove and musicianship go a long way in contemporary jazz.” - JazzTimes

With 15 CDs under his belt and one collaboration CD, saxophonist Gerald Albright has definitely gained his place in the music world as a player, songwriter and producer. His last visit to Pittsburgh was with 2013’s “Summer Horns Tour.” Whether he is playing contemporary or straight-ahead jazz, Albright stands in a class all by himself. He is known for his swiftness on stage, his unique round sound which is percussive yet soulful. He has the ability to surprise the audience with something out of the ordinary. Albright gives his audience what they come for - a great show!
