Gerald Albright has been making us smile for a long time now. He is a musician’s musician and with his saxophone he has made some of the greatest instrumental R&B and jazz of the past two decade. But what about Gerald Albright the bass player? Well, he shows of his multi-instrumental skills on his brand new album, Slam Dunk. On this, his 15th album, fans will hear his searing and soulful sax lines on this twelve-track recording. And, they’ll be in for a surprise, as Albright shows off his chops as a bassist, along with his ebullient tenor, baritone and soprano saxophone arrangements on his own compositions, and his super covers of classics by Phil Collins and James Brown, with special guest vocalist Peabo Bryson.
In fact, it is Albright’s beautiful ballad with Peabo, “Where Did We Go Wrong,” that we’re taking special notice of this month, and we’re proud to present it as our SoulTracks Song of the Month. It brings together two of our favorites on a classic slow jam that we think you’re going to like.
And we have a SPECIAL TREAT for SoulTrackers, too. We have a mini-Listening Room below of all of Slam Dunk for you to enjoy. So check out the great Gerald/Peabo single and then hear the rest of Slam Dunk and tell us what you think!
