Ernest Turner - My Americana (2019)

Ernest Turner's mantra is "searching for the ever elusive musical truth." This search began for the North Carolina native with piano lessons from his mother at the age of 4, and ultimately led him to study jazz in New Orleans where he received his bachelors in jazz studies from Loyola University and master's from University of New Orleans. His professional career has spanned for twenty years and has included performances with many great artists, including: Adonis Rose, Brice Winston, John Ellis, Frank Foster, Neal Caine, Jeremy Davenport, Branford, Delfeayo and Jason Marsalis; the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, the Heath Brothers, Ron Blake, the late Paul Jeffrey, Nneena Freelon, Eve Cornelious, Christian Scott, Vincent Gardner, Ron Westray, Russian pop sensation Alsou, Carolyn Malachi and many others.
