Saxophonist Eric Alexander and his quartet present an evening of memorable music featuring familiar standards, blues, originals, and swinging acoustic modern jazz. With Alex Nakhimovsky on piano, Doug Mathews on bass, and Paul Parker on drums.
Boasting a warm, finely burnished tone and robust melodic and harmonic imagination, tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander has been heavily influenced by the musical pioneers of bebop. During the 1990s, after placing second behind Joshua Redman in the 1991 Thelonious Monk International Saxophone Competition, Alexander threw himself into the whirlwind life of a professional jazz musician. In 2004, Eric signed an exclusive contract with the New York-based independent jazz label, HighNote Records where he has amassed a considerable discography of critically-acclaimed recordings. His most recent project, "A New Beginning - Alto Saxophone with Strings" will be released on HighNote Records in April 2023. Listen to a preview here - https://youtu.be/eJfmX-SOmFU
