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’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.”

If you’re ready
to move and groove, the newest smooth
jazz album from Geoff Alpert, will be sure to do just that! The self taught
trombone player combines pop, R&B, funk and Latin sounds along with the
great sounds of jazz to create an
amazing album that will keep you dancing all night long. The album highlights
Alpert’s exceptional trombone playing, which is something that you don’t hear
regularly.
Alpert spent many
years perfecting his sound. He played tirelessly for years, but then took a
break from his playing in the early 80’s to be a devoted father and husband.
However, 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 which resulted in this beautiful smooth jazz record. You
can listen to the album on iTunes,
CD
Baby and Amazon.
