This past weekend Smooth Jazz Artist, Geoff Alpert, hit the number one spot on the Regional San Diego Jazz Reverbnation Charts! The hard work that Geoff has put in to creating his debut album is really paying off. Being a self taught trombone player, 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.
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. His newest album “Open Your Heart” comes at you with a mix of jazz, pop, R&B, funk and Latin sounds that can speak to anybody who listens. The album highlights Alpert’s exceptional trombone playing, which is something that you don’t hear regularly.
On a side note, if you happen to be in the Los Angeles area around May 1st, Geoff will be having a CD release party at the E Spot Lounge at Vitello’s in Studio City , CA
Be sure to keep up with Geoff on his official website http://www.geoffalpert.comfor any updates.
