First Entry in Renowned "Gentle Ballads" Series On High Quality 180g Vinyl LP!

One of the most talented tenor saxophonists today, Eric Alexander has made quite a few recordings for the Japanese label Venus Records, but this 2004 date, a collection of ballads in a one-horn quartet format, is undoubtedly one of his definitive albums.

While all songs are considered as "ballads," the program is sufficiently varied in rhythm, tempo and tone so that one does not need to worry about monotony. Alexander's burnished tenor sound is very well recorded and gives you a perspective of a first-row table in an intimate jazz club setting.

His rich, big-toned tenor is rhapsodic as he explores a number of timeless ballads...
-Ken Dryden, AllMusic
