GERALD ALBRIGHT & NORMAN BROWN
24/7
Concord Music Group

The first thing that popped into my head about this thrilling new release was why didn’t this happen sooner? Such an inspired pairing of favorites! One of the biggest stars of Contemporary Jazz and R&B, Grammy-nominated Saxophonist Gerald Albright teamed up with critically acclaimed, Grammy Award-winning guitarist Norman Brown to offer up what is surely the finest recording this genre of music has heard in a very long time. 24/7 is one for Smooth Jazz fans… A collaboration that will be hailed along the ranks of alliances the likes of Bob James and Earl Klugh or Bob James and David Sanborn. You know the music I’m talking about… timeless and tasty! Albright & Brown divided the project equally, bringing 5 tracks to the table each, along with one daughter each to compliment the duo’s instrumentals with vocal enhancements; Rochella Brown and Selina Albright are both acclaimed in their own rights. The release is going to be supported by a 2012 tour, we highly recommend that you grab the album, and then purchase your tickets! ~SANDY SHORE
