Celebration (Aug-Sept)

9/30/2019

Comments

 
Late Summer has proved to be a time of celebration and completion.

I celebrated my birthday in August with friends on a Girl’s Trip to Rosemary Beach, Fla.  It was a much needed time to catch up with my friends after a very busy season of performing and working on my new Album. 
August/September also heralded “Sun’s Out” Single to the Top Smooth Jazz Charts with current status on Billboard at #14, Smooth Jazz Top 20 #5, Radiowave #3, Groove Jazz Music #4, MediaBase # 17, and Smooth Jazz .com #26.  

I had the honor of Recording at Orange Peel Studios with Lil John Roberts who added drum tracks, Sam Sims and Joseph Patrick Moore added bass tracks, Paul Brown and  Dan Baraszu added guitar tracks and engineered by Raheem Amlani. I went to Silent Sound Studios in Atlanta  to work with TK Kidd on the legendary Yamaha C7 for piano tracks.  While Paul Brown was in town I also sat in with his band at Suite Lounge Jazz Series  in Atlanta and played some keys.  I am finishing up the last track for the Album with Lew Laing in California. 
 
I was also honored to participate in the WCLK Fundraising Event Sept 25 and joined other celebrities at the Festivities.  
 
Stay tuned for more news on the new Album release Date and Events.

California | The Grammys | Recording

Carol Albert with Dale Edwards on Congas, Vito Gregoli on Guitar, and Brian Sargent on shakers
February has been a whirlwind month full of rewards and challenges. I went to California February 8 and performed at the El Portal Theatre with Dale Edwards on Congas, Vito Gregoli on Guitar, and Brian Sargent on shakers.  It was great fun to perform a new composition “Sun’s Out” which will go on my new Album, 2019, in such a beautiful theatre and a grand piano.    ​

I recorded with Producer, Paul Brown while I was in California as well.   We worked on my new track “I Am Fine” which will also be included in my new Album.  Roberto Vally played bass and I cut vocals and acoustic piano to the tracks I had previously recorded in Georgia in my home studio.

I was fortunate to get tickets to the Grammys 2019 and was accompanied by Paul Brown.  It was a great experience seeing some of my IndieCollab friends and colleagues receive Grammys this year. I ran into a lot of musician  friends while I was there and it was great to catch up.  The excitement, the experience, and the music was one for the record book.

My new single “Femme Flight” has taken off since January and reached Top 10 status and as of today, it is #9 on Billboard, #9 MediaBase USA, #9 Smooth Jazz Top 20.  It’s rewarding to have such a great reception for the Track which features Ragan Whiteside, Magdalena Chovancova with players Nathaniel Kearney, Jay Williams, Curtis McCain and mixed by Paul Brown.

As February closes I am challenged to write and record new material for my Album which is starting to come together. My Las Vegas Show is coming  up April 12 at the Smith Center, and I’ve added Ragan Whiteside as a Guest Artist with bandmates Joseph Patrick Moore, Chris Harris, and Wayne Viar.  And in between it all I’m  “doing life“ with my family in Atlanta.  
 
Well, That’s all for now .  Stay tuned for more to come ….
