There's an old saying that a great jazz musician never plays a song
the same way once. That could certainly be said of Eric Alexander.
One of the busiest players in jazz yet his playing is as
imaginative as ever, with the ideas pouring out of his horn. His
harmonic inventiveness is exceptional and he'll run the changes at
such length at times that you wonder if he'll resolve everything in
time and end up back on the beat but he always does. He has a big,
full, sound, and a ferocious technique, with access to the full
range of his instrument, all under super-human control. Both the
Bird and the Sonny Rollins legacies have been thoroughly
internalized but here Eric explores the repertoire of another
school of tenor playing the Chicagoans. With long-time
collaborators Harold Mabern, John Webber and Joe Farnsworth Eric
gives the nod to some Windy City players who helped shape the sound
of jazz for decades Eddie Harris, Von Freeman and others.
