Info for Together

Saxophone titan Eric Alexander and Hammond maestro Mike LeDonne come together for an incredible duo record.

A really fantastic record, and one that's even better than you might expect – which is saying a lot, as we always have high expectations for any music from both saxophonist Eric Alexander and keyboardist Mike LeDonne! The album's very different than most other sessions the artists have recorded – first in that Mike's playing piano throughout, with a sensitivity that's very different than his more familiar sounds on Hammond organ – and second, in that the album's just a set of duets, which is an especially fresh way to hear Alexander – who's grown and changed so much as a musician in recent years. The open quality of the record is fantastic, and both players are in top form – and LeDonne also gives us a few solo numbers that are pretty fantastic too. Titles include the originals "For Mabes", "Two In One", "Mary", "Mutation", and "Lost But Not Forgotten" – plus takes on "Autumn In New York" and "Round Midnight".

"Boasting a warm, finely burnished tone and a robust melodic and harmonic imagination, tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander has been exploring new musical worlds from the outset." (All About Jazz)
