Urbanity has just released Urban Soul, their first collaboration. Albare and Turcio, who were part of Albare’s band International Travel Diary from 2012 to 2014, reunite for the album. Phil also performed on two Albare solo albums. Phil believes that Albare and Phil both hear music the same way. Albare says, “Everything that I throw at Albare returns as if it would have been played by me.” “I believe that Jazz of the 21st Century encompasses all. There are no boundaries.” Jonathan Widran, SmoothJazz.com writer, noticed the new album titled Urban Soul. He said that the album is “filled with dreamy, sensual melody, lush atmospheres and touches of traditional jazz improvisation. The collection showcases innate instincts as well as gorgeous grooves that only come from two musical titans sharing this kind of history.” from http://www.noise11.com
