Jazz Piano Solos:  This CD is a unique collection of piano performances of standards. The feeling is of meditation and crystalline melancholy, yet underneath it all a feeling of joy. 'Jazz Piano Solos' was a long time in coming as it seemed the music was too weighted for the time in which it was created. Now in a new era of jazz playing it has won its place among those recordings of standards by those who deeply understood them.   More... Songs include: Who Cares (Gershwin) Who Can I Turn To (Anthony Newly) But Beautiful, For All We Know, I Fall In Love Too Easily, Waltz For Debbie (Bill Evans) Quiet Now (Zeitlin) Blue N' Green (Miles Davis) If You Could See Me Now (Tad Dameron) The Touch Of Your Lips, and others. Who Cares sample

Local Hero, Don Alberts Trio and Duo, with David Friesen on Bass and Alan Jones on Drums could be called a masterpiece of interplay. This CD is an anthogy of Don Alberts' Portland Oregon years. David Friesen and Alan Jones had been Don's seminal group during that important period and it is obvious many musical and personal bonds were formed. The music speaks of continuity and alliance with a great respect for the material. This is traditional Contemporary Jazz playing with exciting interaction. Together they successfully run the gamet of the standard jazz library while introducing three Alberts originals. More...

Avende-Miles, Don Alberts Trio and Quartet on Chill House Music-released October 2005. This exciting new CD comprises a unique series of recordings featuring the original members of the Don Alberts trio from the CD "Intuition," CHM 0001, with the addition of Scott Barnhill's tenor saxophone. All songs were composed during Don Alberts' hiatus to San Diego providing a definitive body of work that is interrelated in musical concept. In all, the music is a more focused "players" format for improvisation, thematically strong and haunting with lingering melodies and high points. More...

"Rejuvenation" (ri-ju-ve-nat-shen) Meaning: "to enliven, to empower with youthful vigor, to renew and refresh, to revitalize." "Rejuvenation" is exactly that; a refreshment of the musical experience both for the musician and the ear of the listening. This new collection of compositions is interlaced with that same elixir, a tonic of complexity and movement, of color and contrast to enliven the senses. "Rejuvenation" also represents a satisfaction, the attainment of a musical passage and ascension to an openly expressed level of intuitive playing, with the realization that this has all been done before but has been lost, set aside in attention to other music and life influences. But the commitment found here in this collection more than signifies a triumphant return to the root fervor of “what is jazz” and the force jazz music can impose. More...
