Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This jazz CD featuring the great jazz saxophonists, Eric Alexander on tenor and Vincent Herring on alto was recorded live at SMOKE, a small jazz and supper club in uptown Manhattan with impeccable acoustics, great food and some of the best jazz in town i.e. New York City.
These two jazz giants started the set with a Hank Mobley piece called Pat `N' Chat, which was to set the standard from which they never stray. Their inventive solos were a knockout, not necessarily competitive rather a joyous interplay that inspired them to take more risks. This was followed by, Sukiyaki at a loping tempo that kicked into a hard swing feel when Herring took off in his solo. There are also some timeless standards such as, You've Changed, Mona Lisa, Here's That Rainy Day and a rhythm section that kicked arse when required and swung like A train all the way to Harlem - Mike Ledonne on piano, John Webber, bassist and Carl Allen on drums.
