Free Music Review: Gerald on my mind (recommended)
Hit: 4 Stars
Albright blows his toes off with the bluesy GEORGIA ON MY MIND that sounds like no prior rendition. If you can afford to purchase just one selection, let it be this. It DEFINITELY would be a rousing conclusion to his performance April 19th at the 16th annual Guitars & Saxes concert (edit: and it was)!
The title cut, NEW BEGINNINGS, is sassy and smooth, as are other selections such as DEEP INTO MY SOUL and I NEED YOU. Some songs (like the latter) include background choruses; my preference is pure instrumental. All cuts have the full-bodied saxophone style that is unmistakably Gerald; several rhythms are reminiscent of earlier Albright recordings. The compilation is guaranteed to improve a tense ride to work and help you unwind a smile after an exhausting day.
New Beginnings Poster
This CD finds the LA-born, smooth-jazz star Gerald Albright on a new label, with a new line of saxophones and a new home in Colorado. It's co-produced by some of his heavyweight contemporaries, including Jeff Lorber, Chuckii Booker, and Rex Rideout, and it features Albright's traveling band. All of the 12 tracks showcase Albright's assertive mix of Cannonball Adderley's bravura and Maceo Parker's funkiness--whether he's playing alto, baritone, tenor sax, or flute. His high school friend, Patrice Rushen, who let Albright steal the show with his burning solo on her 1982 single "Forget Me Nots," turns in a nice piano spotlight on the title track. The old Whispers hit "And the Beat Goes On" is reprised with that group's lead vocalists, and trumpeter Chris Botti's Milesiian trumpet leaves its footprint on "Big Shoes." Albright's rousing rendition of "Georgia on My Mind," shows why everybody, from Quincy Jones to Phil Collins, loves his sound. --Eugene Holley, Jr.Jazz Music CDs
