Jeff Albert

I have new photos by Zack Smith. Some of the shots ended up in the online Media Kit, and I am sharing some of the more fun ones here.

Trombonist goes from LPO to jazz gig at Zeitgeist- NOLA.com: “Next Tuesday, trombonist Jeff Albert will lead his free jazz ensemble in a program of original music at Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center — a change of venue and genre for a gifted player who has filled in as a bass trombonist for the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra during most of the past season.”

What Time Out Chicago had to say in advance of my quartet show at Brown Rice:

Jeff Albert Quartet at Brown Rice - Time Out Chicago: “A founding member of the New Orleans–Chicago free jazz ensemble the Lucky 7s, Crescent City trombonist Jeff Albert serves as good an ambassador as any for that city’s mythically joyous vibe. His quartet pairs him with Chicagoan Greg Ward as well as recent New Orleans ex-pats Quin Kirchner and Matt Golombisky. “

Musicians: Jeff Albert (trombone), Greg Ward (alto sax), Quin Kirchner (drums), Matthew Golombisky (bass). Recorded on 19 April 2008 in Chicago at Brown Rice. The files are 128k VBR mp3s.
