Veteran smooth jazz saxophonist Gerald Albright is no one-dimensional purveyor of musical wallpaper--his excellent NEW BEGINNINGS collection is wide-ranging enough to cover a sultry version of "Georgia on My Mind" and a swaying, uptempo cover of the Whispers' disco-era hit "And the Beat Goes On." The pianist Patrice Rushen makes a guest appearance on the album's title track, and Albright's colleague Jeff Lorber performs on cuts including the velvety "We Got the Groove" and the sinuous "Take Your Time."

Professional Reviews

JazzTimes (p.149) - "NEW BEGINNINGS indeed sounds like a rejuvenation. Albright is on the smooth-jazz team, but he possesses gutsier, bluesier chops than many of his contemporaries."
