Biography

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. He started out on piano as a six-year-old, took up clarinet at nine, switched to alto sax when he was 12, and converted to tenor when jazz became his obsession during his one year at the University of Indiana, Bloomington… Read more in Amazon's Eric Alexander Store

5.0 out of 5 stars One of A Kind, April 18, 2007

Jamie Tatro (Columbia, SC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: First Milestone (Audio CD)
About a year ago I bought Eric Alexander's "Dead Center" CD. I was very impressed. Then about six months ago I happened to be in Philadelphia and noticed that he was playing at Chris' Jazz Cafe. I figured "why not check him out?" He blew me away. Since then I've collected several of his CD's. Now, I feel like I have to get all of them. This one in particular was of interest to me because I'm a guitarist and a huge fan of Pat Martino. It's a fabulous piece of work. Even Martino, who hasn't played particularly well over the last decade, has some bright moments (though his overall performance is uneven, at best). By far, however, this is Eric's show. He'll rip your heart out, and it seems there's no end to his melodic ideas. He makes EVERY song interesting, fresh, and memorable. Harold Mabern is also outstanding, as are Peter Washington and Joe Farnsworth. Highly, highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice, June 29, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: First Milestone (Audio CD)
The First song I heard on this CD was #34 was Sweetness. It has a fairly simple melody, but it is very cool. The rest of the CD follows suit. It is all great jazz. Could be a little better in terms of accenting, but it is still a wonderful listen. Buy it!
