My favorite vinyl emporium expunges the dregs of its inventory with an ongoing crate sale. I recently scooped up a cache of unloved records by the likes of the Brecker Brothers, John Klemmer and Joe Sample at ten cents a pop. The passe status of jazz fusion, smooth jazz and acid jazz doesn’t phase the Kansas City based musician Alber. His sunny 27-minute release Caldo recalls the commercial heyday of the forms. Yet Alber isn’t stuck in the past. Contemporary production flourishes make the trumpeter and producer’s self-styled “electro-jazz” substantially fresher than my stack of dusty Earl Klugh albums.
