Al "The Burner" Turner
As a child growing up in Detroit in the ‘60’s, being influenced by the Motown Sound was only natural. This gifted musician began playing bass at a very young age, learning the bass lines from listening to recordings of the many Motown Artist. Piano lessons followed shortly after. Upon graduating from high school Al began playing in various clubs around Detroit and Canada with the group Free Spirit which featured Anita Baker as the lead vocalist.
Turner is certainly no stranger to the industry and many artists. A bassist since age 12, Turner has played with some of the brightest luminaries in the business. Al plays regularly with Kem as well as Jazz greats, Earl Klugh, and Bob James and has performed with some of the top names in the music industry. You can hear his cleverly and meticulous bass lines on recordings by Kem, Aretha Franklin, Oleta Adams, Anita Baker, Nancy Wilson, Randy Crawford, and Gladys Knight to name a few. In addition, Al has written and produced songs for recording artists Earl Klugh, Bob James, Tim Bowman, Edgar Wallace, Jr., Guy Ensley & Ron Otis. Always in demand, Al has toured with Cheryl Lynn, Oleta Adams, David Benoit and Everette Harp. Al’s artistry exceeds category and has been featured on many television and radio commercials.
Driven by artistic mastery, Al Turner “The Burner” is an A-List side man and has performed hundreds of live shows nationally and internationally and continues to amaze and thrill audiences who will undoubtedly find themselves grooving to “Sunny Days” & “Movin”, his two solo releases.
Welcome aboard, Al!
