His other current project is the jazz organ trio Generations. 2026-2027 Main Stage Season One of the biggest stars of R&B, contemporary, and straight-ahead jazz, saxophonist – and Colorado resident – Gerald Albright has earned his reputation as a “musician’s musician.” Albright serves as artistic director of Lone Tree Sessions and curates legendary and emerging artists in jazz, R&B, and blues for intimate performances in the South Metro area.
