Bio
.. .. .... ..As a child growing up in Detroit in the 60s, being influenced by the Motown Sound was only natural. This gifted musician began playing bass at the age of 12, learning the bass lines from listening to recordings of the many Motown Artist. Piano lessons followed shortly after. Upon graduating from high school Al began playing in various clubs around Detroit and Canada with the group Free Spirit which featured Anita Baker as the lead vocalist... ..Playing professionally since the early eighty's, Al Turner "The Burner" is an A-List sideman in constant demand. He has performed with some of the top names in the music industry. In between touring the world with Earl Klugh, Kem and Bob James, Al continues to stay busy in the recording studios. You can hear his bass playing on recordings by Aretha Franklin, Earl Klugh, Kem, Oleta Adams, Anita Baker, Nancy Wilson, Bob James, Randy Crawford, and Gladys Knight to name a few. Also you can hear The Burner on many television and radio commercials. In addition, Al has toured with Cheryl Lynn, Oleta Adams, David Benoit and Everette Harp. .. ..Al has written and produced songs for Smooth Jazz recording artists Tim Bowman, Edgar Wallace, Jr., Guy Ensley and Ron Otis. .. ..Now after gracefully laying down the bottom end on hundreds of recordings, Al has released his debut CD entitled ..Movin'.. on MegaWave Records. In this solo debut, it is no surprise that he features several of his friends including Everette Harp, Earl Klugh, Paul Jackson, Jr., and Oleta Adams. Mixed by Ken Freeman, this Smooth Jazz statement demands repeated listening. This studio recording includes original compositions and collaborations Stop Watch, Bassin', and the title track, all due to get attention at radio and beyond. Al has performed hundreds of live shows internationally to warmly responsive audiences, and listeners to this project will also find themselves Movin' with Al Turner and friends. Movin' is available now... ..Buy ..Movin'.. on ..Amazon.com.... .... ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .... ........ ........ ....Page Customized by.. ....ImageLab...... -
