One For All: Live at Smoke- Volume 1
ByPast highpoints are visited here in new versions that up the ante in terms of tempo and solo brilliance. “The Second Milestone” is Eric Alexander’s line and it starts things off in a way that delineates the creative muse for the remainder of the date- burning solos and collective interplay that borders on the telepathic at times. Naming just a few of the highlights, trumpeter Jim Rotondi toys with the beat during a souped up remake of “Betcha By Golly Wow,” Eric Alexander can be heard in impassioned voice on his ballad feature “Dedicated To You,” and Steve Davis contributes fitting homage to inspiration J.J. Johnson on a reverential “Poem For J.J.”
