The weekend is here again as we move even closer to the 34th annual Boscov’s Berks Jazz Fest.
This week we chat with my good friend saxophonist and bassist Gerald Albright.
Gerald has been at Berks on numerous occasions over the years and it’s so cool to have him back.
He’s a guy who is at the top of his game and worked and performed with Anita Baker, Whitney Houston, Phil Collins and more as you will hear.
Gerald headlines the Sunday Jazz Brunch hosted by Michael Tozzi at the DoubleTree grand ballroom on Sunday, April 6.

Hope you enjoy the show with Gerald.
As I have said many times: “Music is what feelings sound like.”
