Editorial Reviews
As listeners, we like to enjoy music 24 hours a day, seven days a week. So it s a good thing that contemporary jazz greats Gerald Albright and Norman Brown have been working overtime to produce 24/7, their first album together. This June 19, 2012 release on Concord Jazz, a division of Concord Music Group, offers ten killer soul-jazz tracks of music that never sleeps.
Ever since the debut of Norman Brown s critically acclaimed 2002 album, Just Chillin which won a GRAMMY in the prestigious Best Pop Instrumental Category this innovative and original guitarist has been front and center in the fast evolving fusion of pop, R&B and jazz that has captured the imagination of true music aficionados across the country and around the world.
On 24/7, Brown teams up with saxophone master Gerald Albright, whose high-profile recordings have established the Los Angeles-based musician as one of the most prominent artists and a true musicians musician. Whether he is playing contemporary or straight-ahead jazz, Albright stands in a class all by himself. His 2010 release, Pushing The Envelope, received a GRAMMY nomination for Best Pop Instrumental Album.

I been fan of Norman Brown for a long time and have listened to some Gerald Albright and it was funky. This is like a Gerald album with Norman as a featured sideman. Norman is there but buried in the mix and doesn't seem his high energy self. Overall album is typical smooth pop jazz which great players can bring life too, but in this case its not happening. So being generous and giving it 3 stars.

A C.D. I can listen to over and over again. Nice and Classy.They had the right idea when they named this 24/7 because once you start listening to it, you can play it 24/7.

By greatest fan
Format:Audio CD
First I would like to say. I have got to be one of Norman browns greatest fans. All of his mojazz recordings were shockingly fantastic. Norman Kicked the doors off the hinges and exposed R&B lovers all over the world a brand new realm of music! Me and my whole team love him very much. But, I would like to say that there was once a driving force behind Norman that made him That juggernaut of an entertainer. I Dont know Who or what that force was. But it inspired him and drove Normans spirit to new heights. Maybe it was a relationship, Or he has lost a loved one. I dont know. But, I Pray he will find it once more. we love you Norman.

Champagne Life alone makes this CD worth purchasing. But the entire cd is great but I missed the concert. Ticked me off.
