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.

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.

Geoff Alpert Releases Incredible Jazz Album Open Your Heart

Geoff Alpert’s new Jazz Fusion album “Open Your Heart” is a terrific collection of ten tunes that takes musical ideas and influences from not only the jazz universe but also funk, rhythm and blues, pop and Latin music.  The commonality between the tracks is Alpert’s superb and prominently featured trombone playing. 

After over forty years of teaching Ken-Ka-Kung-Fu, Alpert attributes much of his musical inspiration to the qualities of love and sharing that his martial arts experience taught him. He has a constant focus on wanting to challenge himself in multiple ways, not just in martial arts but also his music.
