Geoff Alpert Draws Inspiration From Wayne Henderson In New Album Open Your Heart

Being a self taught trombone player, Alpert spent many years perfecting his sound. He took a break from his playing in the early 80’s to be a devoted father and husband. After the painful passing of his wife in 2002, he went back to his roots and picked up the trombone once again and used the music as a vessel to convey his emotions.

With the help of bassist Darryl Williams and musical director/keyboardist Gail Jhonson, he was inspired to make “Open Your Heart”. The album has an incredible mix of jazz, pop, R&B and funk which are very reminiscent of the sounds that we would hear from Wayne Henderson and highlights Alpert’s exceptional trombone playing.

You can listen to the beautiful collection of ten songs on iTunes, CD Baby and Amazon.
