Eric Alexander: Nightlife In Tokyo

Read "Nightlife In Tokyo" reviewed by Franz A. Matzner

by Franz A. Matzner
October 5, 2003

"Nemesis," the opening track of Eric Alexander’s latest release, Nightlife in Tokyo, encapsulates within its twisting motif and exotic garb both the positive and negative qualities of the album. The motif is compelling, but only because it is so reminiscent of Coltrane tracks like “India” and “Naima.” The tune provides a utilitarian launching pad for Alexander’s ...

Eric Alexander: Summit Meeting

by David A. Orthmann
September 2, 2002

A direct descendent of competitive, no nonsense titans such as Sonny Stitt and George Coleman, Eric Alexander plays the horn with a decidedly assertive temperament, as if he always has something to prove. Summit Meeting, his fourth release for Milestone, is arguably the tenor saxophonist’s finest recording as a leader in a prolific, decade-long career. No ...

June 1, 2001

If you insist on your jazz being loud and of the avant variety, then this disc will not be for you. If you’ve convinced yourself that the young guys are just revisiting the past, then this disc won’t be for you either. But, if you’re interested in serious mainstream jazz performed by some of the greatest ...

Eric Alexander: The First Milestone

by Jack Bowers
May 1, 2001

Eric Alexander, the most fearsome young lion of them all, even looks the part on his “official” debut recording for Milestone Records — pensive, unsmiling, saxophone case in hand, primed and ready for another day of jungle warfare whose chief purpose is not so much to vanquish his musical peers as to earn their respect, something ...
