Albert's Lullaby is the first solo album by American avant-garde bassist, jazz composer, bandleader, producer; Michael Staron which in essence documented his trio collaboration with American avant-garde jazz composer, bandleader, and multi-instrumentalist Hal Russell recorded in 1991 and 1992 and released posthumously on the part of Mr. Russell on the Southport label in 2000.
[1] The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nas states, "Staron's major role in these collective improvisations cannot be overlooked, he is an equal partner firing up Russell's highly spontaneous notions.
"[2] Harvey Pekar on JazzTimes observed, "“Ghosts” contains Staron's unaccompanied arco and pizzicato work, on which he employs electronic and percussive effects and extended techniques.
[5] On All About Jazz Glenn Astarita enthused "Albert’s Lullaby is a remarkable portraiture of an artist who most assuredly would be blazing new musical trails if not for his untimely death...
This is a fine example of when all goes right with free jazz in the hands of gifted performers, who, together, share a creative vision with the listening audience".
