| Still in his 30s, saxophonist Eric Alexander has succeeded in establishing himself as an original voice within the illustrious bop-based jazz tradition both on his CDs as a leader and on the 60 to 70 (he's lost count) recordings on which he's appeared as a sideman. Recorded at the famed Van Gelder Studios under the watchful eyes of RVG, Alexander's new HighNote release It's All in the Game (HCD 7148) features the saxophonist in the company of pianist Harold Mabern, bassist Nat Reeves and drummer Joe Farnsworth. The performances of the eight standards (e.g. “All in the Game” and “Where Or When”), the classic Monk ballad “Ruby My Dear” and three new originals on the CD capture the telepathic ensemble playing of a close-knit quartet that regularly works together and whose members each have phenomenal chops and a wealth of mainstream jazz experience. |
