To some, a tenor-to-alto switch may not seem to be a newsworthy matter, but for the initiated it's the stuff of headlines. An inveterate tenor at the apex of the scene for more than three decades, Eric put the alto away in his teen years and never looked back. \"But with the dearth of opportunities to play during the pandemic, I started to work on it,\" he confesses. After successfully pitching the idea of using his second saxophone-with-strings project as a debut on alto, the present recording is quite simply astounding. Working with his regular rhythm section and adding ace string arrangements, this altoist delivers one revelatory performance after another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Blues for Diane \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Embraceable You \u003cbr\u003e1.3 All My Tomorrows \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Maybe September \u003cbr\u003e1.5 To Love and Be Loved \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Anita \u003cbr\u003e1.7 She Was Too Good to Me \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Too Late Now \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Blues for Diane (Alternate Take)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Eric Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59230201250137,"sku":"V43366934","price":5.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0151\/3561\/files\/4191416-2955555.jpg?v=1788058718"},{"product_id":"eric-alexander-friendly-fire","title":"Eric Alexander: Friendly Fire - COMPACT DISCS","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eFriendly Fire\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eEric Alexander\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eHighnote\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eCOMPACT DISCS\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e632375723224\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eJazz\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2012-03-13\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n Alto saxophonist Vincent Herring's and tenor man Eric Alexander's collaborative ethos makes FRIENDLY FIRE the thoroughly musical affair that it is, the saxophonists bring the unmistakable charge of friendly rivalry to the date as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Pat N Chat \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Sukiyaki \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Inception \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Dig Dis \u003cbr\u003e1.5 You Ve Changed \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Mona Lisa \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Timothy \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Timothy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.

This imposing improviser is reunited here with pianist David Hazeltine and they're joined by another jazz great, the always daring trumpeter Jon Faddis on a couple of the tracks. Add in the swing engendered by bassist John Webber and drummer Joe Farnsworth and you have a formula for excellence, if ever there was one. Alexander produced the session and there is a strong latin feel throughout thanks to the contributions of vibrant percussionist Alex Diaz spurring the band on with a whole trunk load of Latin percussion instruments.

Venus. 2015. In addition to being one of the top tenor saxophonists of his generation, Eric Alexander has developed quite a following in Japan, as evidenced by his series of recordings for the Venus label. These 2004 sessions with pianist Mike LeDonne, bassist John Webber, and drummer Joe Farnsworth are much in the mold of John Coltrane's Ballads album of the early '60s. His rich, big-toned tenor is rhapsodic as he explores a number of timeless ballads, though more than a few have pretty much fallen out of favor among jazz musicians in the 21st century. Particularly welcome are his explorations of two gems by the late jazz pianist Mal Waldron, while the leader's \"Gently\" fits in perfectly with the more established pieces. Earle Hagen's \"Harlem Nocturne\" is played in two separate versions, the first being a bit laid-back, the latter at a brisk tempo with LeDonne adding an enticing vamp. The bluesy treatment of \"Stormy Weather\" is strangely credited to Duke Ellington, while Alexander's shimmering take of Billy Strayhorn's gorgeous \"Chelsea Bridge\" is an obvious highlight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Mona Lisa \u003cbr\u003e1.2 I Got It Bad \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Fanny \u003cbr\u003e1.4 I'm a Fool-To Want You \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Lil Darling \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Look of Love \u003cbr\u003e1.7 My Ship \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Who Scan Eye-Turn-To \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Time After Time\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Eric Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59230799200601,"sku":"V27646069","price":12.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0151\/3561\/files\/2827396.jpg?v=1788058949"},{"product_id":"alexander-eric-alexander-eric-lazy-afternoon-gentle-ballads-iv-super-audio-cd","title":"Eric Alexander: Alexander, Eric : Lazy Afternoon Gentle Ballads Iv - SUPER-AUDIO CD","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eAlexander, Eric : Lazy Afternoon Gentle Ballads Iv\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eEric Alexander\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eVenus\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eSUPER-AUDIO CD\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e4571292516464\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eJazz\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2014-07-29\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eAdditional Details: \u003c\/b\u003eJAPAN - IMPORT\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n 2014 Japanese SACD pressing of his 2010 album.

Boasting a warm, finely burnished tone and a robust melodic and harmonic imagination, tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander has been exploring new musical worlds from the outset. His new album 'Chicago to New York' pays tribute to the intersection and interplay that still exists between Chicago and New York. Unlike Alexander's 2014 album, Chicago Fire that featured an all-NYC rhythm section, the stellar casting on this new album is split evenly with LeDonne and Alexander representing New York, and the always excellent bassist Dennis Carroll and drummer George Fludas representing Chicago, where this dynamic rhythm section continues to live and work. The record's theme cleverly explores the shared interconnection between two far-flung cities and benefits from a proximity that all four individuals share in terms of musical approach, supreme accomplishment on their instruments, and an adherence to a group aesthetic that prioritizes groove, swing, and the \"give-and-take interplay\" that is the hallmark of the best jazz. Coupled with thoughtful selection choices by John Coltrane, Matt Dennis, and Mongo Santamaria (among others), the recording's repertoire provides Alexander and company excellent improvisatory vehicles with which to skillfully traverse the nearly 800-miles that separate these two great American jazz cities... enjoy the drive!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Afro Blue \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Wise One \u003cbr\u003e1.3 This Is Always \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Only the Lonely \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Hittin' the Jug \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Lamp Is Low \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Angel Eyes\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Eric Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59231098995033,"sku":"V44925284","price":3.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0151\/3561\/files\/4401730-3322047_bed8dd94-7064-4bef-8317-06e1328a8d39.jpg?v=1788059021"},{"product_id":"eric-alexander-two-of-a-kind","title":"Eric Alexander: Two of a Kind - COMPACT DISCS","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eTwo of a Kind\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eEric Alexander\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eCriss Cross\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eCOMPACT DISCS\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e8712474113323\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eJazz\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e1997-09-09\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n \n \u003cbr\u003e\n \n \n This is Eric Alexander's 4th release as a leader, and is his most cohesive to date.
