Albare The Road Ahead
After the recent announcement of Albare's signing to ABC Music in Australia and New Zealand, the jazz guitar virtuoso will perform one intimate show in Melbourne and Sydney to launch his latest album, "The Road Ahead" on Thursday, November 7 at Bennetts Lane Jazz Club, Melbourne and Thursday, November 14 at The Sound Lounge, Seymour Centre in Sydney.
This year, Albare has achieved success with his US tour and is currently on tour in Europe, where he is receiving critical praise for his live shows and latest album.
'The Road Ahead' was recorded in New York earlier this year, receiving glowing reviews and USA Jazz Chart success since its international release through ENJA Records, the famous legendary German label.
Recorded in Brooklyn, 'The Road Ahead' features a line-up of choice: Melbourne-based pianist Phil Turcio, Cuban bassist Yunior Terry and Venezuelan drummer Pablo Bencid.
Joining Albare on stage at Bennetts Lane and Seymour Centre will be Phil Turcio (Piano), Phil Rex (Bass) and Darryn Ferrugia (Drums), all musicians with whom Albare shares a music history.

great but became a bit long
Great musicians !! The management needed to turn up air-con though as the musicians were suffering.
excellent musicians and original music. Food was an unexpected extra delight! Seymour management needs to turn up aircon though - musicians were suffering
A nice evening out. Great venue. Relaxing, unchallenging mainstream jazz
It was my first time at Seymour Theatre and turned out to be a great up close and personal venue. Sound system was pretty clear. Albare is not simply a talented jazz musician but also a likable and charming man. I am impressed with the overall professional talents of the whole band!
A very enjoyable performance by Albare and his band. Loved the music. The more I listened the more I liked. Perfect for an evening at the end of the week to unwind and feel energised. If that makes any sense.
an enjoyable evening listening to some nice sounds :)
Every enjoyable night. It was so relaxing to sit back and enjoy jazz ready for the weekend ahead. Love the music and the venue
Lovely little venue(Bennett's Lane)and a nice laidback set from Albares. Enjoyable gig.
A great evening. Lovely jazz, an intimate venue and Albare is himself a wonderfully charismatic man.
"The road ahead" will be smooth driving for Albare and the group.
We enjoyed being at Bennets lane and listening to the jazz, and we had a very pleasant time.
Thanks
It was well performed but uninspired jazz.
A very enjoyable and relaxing experience! Absolutely love this venue!
Wonderful performance. The first time I had been to the Salon room at the Recital Centre, loved the intimacy and will certainly look forward to other performances there. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience.
Excellent performance. Good venue too.
Seeing any gig at the Recital Centre's Salon room is always a close and personal encounter and this was no exception. It felt like they were playing in your lounge room. Very smooth sounds and massive rhythm section of 2 double bass players( from melbourne and cuba) and a Venezualan drummer with the delicate stylings of AlBare's guitar style.Such a pleasing gig .
thanks
