Gerald Albright
For five decades, 9-time GRAMMY®-nominated saxophonist/multi-instrumentalist/composer/bandleader Gerald Albright has put his serpentine-fired, solo signature on many of the greatest hits of the latter half of the twentieth century; from Patrice Rushen’s “Forget Me Nots,” to Quincy Jones’ “Setembro.” And, he’s been one of the most accomplished contemporary jazz and R&B artists on the scene, as evidenced by his 20 albums as a leader. Playing both sax and bass, he became the consummate session and touring musician, working with everyone from Anita Baker, Ray Parker, Jr., Atlantic Starr, The Temptations and Maurice White to Les McCann, Phil Collins, Teena Marie, the Winans and Whitney Houston. The inimitable combination of soul, groove, funk, smooth melodic dexterity, and jaw-dropping jazz virtuosity are what defines Albright as a “musician’s musician.”
