This Single-Layer SACD can only be played on a Super Audio CD Player!
"One for All have been an active New York City-based collective with fairly steady personnel except for the bass chair, which has rotated between several players. On this 2003 session for the Japanese Venus label, Ray Drummond joins tenorist Eric Alexander, trombonist Steve Davis, trumpeter Jim Rotondi, pianist David Hazeltine, and drummer Joe Farnsworth, the latter members all being part of the core group back to its creation in the mid-'90s.
Most of the selections on this date are associated with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, having been written for the late drummer's band or popularized by him. For a change of pace, there's a lush treatment of Duke Ellington's "Prelude to a Kiss," showcasing a passionate Alexander solo." - Allmusic
