Jeffrey Osborne News

It's been 13 years since the R&B world has had a taste of musical stylings by Jeffrey Osborne. Now after a brief trek into the genre of Jazz, Osborne is back with his trademark ballads in the realm of Soul Music for which he has so indelibly inscribed his mark. Singer/songwriter/producer Jeffrey Osborne is making a most triumphant return via his 12-song album, Worth It All, which dropped May 25, 2018 on Artistry Music.  Worth It All  is a vibrant and thoughtfully romantic project in which Osborne (70) reflects on his 35-plus years of marriage and sets said thoughts to a richly robust and diversified palate of sumptuous soul music. The album features special guests Gerald Albright on saxophone, Rick Braun on trumpet and includes a sexy, rainy night scenario song entitled “Work It,” co-written by son, Jeffrey Osborne Jr.

The composer who had three shows running simultaneously on Broadway was on stage at The Broadway at Birdland concert series last night and of course Broadwayworld was also there for the special evening.
