In 2017, Urbanity launched their album "Urban Soul", had a successful tour of the USA where the band played from coast to coast to the delight of their American fans. Out of the thousands of Jazz albums launched each year in the USA, their Urban Soul album finished #71 overall for 2017 on the US Jazz Charts

From beginning to end, listeners will hear the pair’s innate instincts, the perfect partnership, the gorgeous groove of two friends making music. “We love jazz beyond the traditional sense,” says Albare. “I think that Jazz of the 21st Century is all encompassing. There are no limits.”

That thought is evident as Albare and Phil Turcio come together as Urbanity.

The band will play 2 sets. Expect 2 hours of music.

Line up: Albare guitars, Phil Turcio keys, Darryn Farrugia on drums and Peter Mollica on bass.

ON THE NEWS

"Albare's music recalls that of the Bulgarian guitarist Hristo Vitchev, who has coined the term "heartmony," which he defines as "the simultaneous combination of feelings and emotions, especially when produced by experiences, memories, and stimulations pleasing to the heart, body, and soul." This describes Albare’s current offerings very well.” JAZZTIME (USA)

"Albare’s sextet of jazz musicians from all around the world complemented his unique playing perfectly, and left the capacity crowd utterly frothing” - Vulture Magazine (Australia)
