  • Description

    While saxophonist Eric Alexander has garnered critical acclaim from every corner, what has mattered most has been to establish his own voice within the illustrious bop-based jazz tradition, which is exactly what he does on 'Second Impression'. The close-knit ensemble coupled with the bass-clef contributions of the extraordinary Bob Cranshaw, make for a listening experience not soon forgotten.

    It can be argued with some validity that one's overall movement through life is reflected in his creative endeavour, and Eric Alexander's strength and versatility on the saxophone can be viewed from this perspective. At this point in his career, Eric has certainly covered a lot of territory, both literally and figuratively. He himself has lost count of how many albums feature his playing; our guess is 100 or more.

    Personnel: Eric Alexander (tenor saxophone), Harold Mabern (piano, Fender Rhodes), Bob Cranshaw (bass), Joe Farnsworth (drums)
