The collaboration between Albare and Phil Turcio started 27 years ago when Albert Dadon - aka Albare - was looking for a new pianist for his band. At the time Phil had just turned 18.
Albare recalls, "He was not even the youngest member of the band then; our drummer just turned17." "These guys sounded so good, itwas a pleasure already to play with them." Phil explains that he and Albare hear music in the same way, "Everything I throw at Albare comes back as if I would have played it myself."
From beginning to end, listeners will hear the duo's innate instincts, the perfect partnership, the gorgeous groove of two friends making music.
"We love jazz, but not in the traditional sense," says Albare. "I think that Jazz of the 21st Century is all encompassing. There are no limits."
That thought is evident as Albare and Phil Turcio come together as Urbanity, which will perform on June 3, 2017 at Vibrato Jazz Grill, 2930 Beverly Glen Circle, Los Angeles, CA 90077. Call (310) 474-9400 or visit www.vibratogrilljazz.com for tickets and more information. Showtime is 9:30pm.
