GERALD ALBRIGHT TOUR DATES

Gerald Albright has earned his reputation as a “musician’s musician.” Born in Los Angeles, he began piano lessons at an early age. During the ’80s, Albright became a highly requested session musician, playing on albums by a wide variety of artists – including Anita Baker, Ray Parker, Lola Folana, Atlantic Starr, Olivia Newton-John, the Temptations and Maurice White. After two of his albums hit the number one slot on Billboard’s Top Contemporary Jazz Chart, and were nominated for Grammy® Awards in 1989 and 1990, Phil Collins asked him to front a Big Band and they toured together. He also performed and toured with Les McCann, Jeff Lorber, George Duke, Earl Klugh, Will Downing, Jonathan Butler, Hugh Masekela, Chaka Khan, and Rachelle Ferrell, Quincy Jones and Whitney Houston, among many others.  Over the years, Albright has appeared on numerous TV shows such as “A Different World” and “Melrose Place”. Albright was selected to play at President Clinton’s inauguration ceremony. Along the way, he has sold over a million albums in the U.S. alone and has appeared on nearly 200 albums by other artists. His latest three albums New Beginnings (2008), Sax for Stax (2009) and Pushing the Envelope (2010) were Grammy nominated for Best Pop Instrumental Album.
