Eric Alexander is the rarest type of jazz artists: one who garners critical acclaim from every corner, while firmly establishing his own voice within the illustrious bop-based jazz tradition. He has trained and toughed it out with some of the best musicians in the business, and is a player possessing both accessibility without condescension and intelligence without alienation. For his latest HighNote release, Alexander is once again in the Rudy Van Gelder studio with his long-time collaborators Harod Mabern, Joe Farnsworth and Nat Reeves for a program of originals, standards and not-so-standards delivered with the prerequisite imagination and daring that has earned Eric Alexander a place among the elite jazzmen of today.
