Gerald Albright, one of the biggest stars of R&B, contemporary and straight-ahead jazz returns to The Tangier! Gerald began piano lessons at an early age, and became a polished saxophone artist by the time he enrolled at the University of Redlands, earning him his reputation as a “musicians musician.” On August 5, 2014, Albright releases Slam Dunk and continues his reign supreme as the genre’s most compelling and consistent artist. 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 (“True Colors”) and James Brown (“It’s a Man’s, Man’s Man’s World”), with special guest vocalist Peabo Bryson.
