Open Your Heart by Geoff Alpert is a Work of Passion and Dedication

Geoff Alpert is truly one of the most remarkable musicians in the smooth jazz scene today.  He took a many year hiatus from music to be an amazing father and husband and found his way back after the untimely death of his wife.  His music gained a deep emotional tone and has culminated with his debut album, “Open Your Heart.”  It is a beautiful collection of songs that highlights tones of smooth jazz, Latin, R&B, funk and even hints of pop.  The genre fusion creates a highly accessible work that anybody can appreciate.

It also highlights the often-overlooked trombone.  It’s great to see the smooth jazz trombone in the foreground and exciting to hear that solo lines Alpert has written.  One highlight of the album is the song “Thinking About You,” which is a musical memento dedicated to his departed mother and wife.  It is well worth your time to take a listen.

You can listen to the album on iTunes, CD Baby and Amazon.

Geoff Alpert Brings the Trombone to the Musical Foreground with his Smooth Jazz Album Open Your Heart




Geoff Alpert’s music is an incredible blend of Smooth Jazz, R&B, Pop and Latin sound signatures.  His debut album Open Your Heart, is a wonderful collection of ten tunes that all prominently feature the smooth jazz trombone and play as a tapestry of content devoted to Alpert’s life and experiences.

Two of the most well received tunes off the smooth jazz album “Thinking About You” and “Zen Funk.”  “Thinking About You” is a tribute to his departed mother and wife and the song is ripe with emotion.  “Zen Funk” is, similarly, a tribute to the Ken-Ka-Kung Fu Club (a martial arts school which Geoff has been both a student/teacher at for four decades).  The intent behind almost every song on this album is extremely apparent and gives both the artist as well as the work a very personable touch.  Geoff explains that, “this album – like my teaching of Ken-Ka-Kung Fu – is all about love, sharing and the willingness to open your heart.”

You can listen to the album on iTunes, CD Baby and Amazon.
