' '
,: While New York may have eventually emerged as the city in which :,
: to both hear, and perform jazz, Chicago continues to be :
:' influential, not only for its many fine clubs but for the ':
,: excellent musicians that the Windy City continues to produce. :,
: For Eric Alexander, Chicago quite clearly remains a site of :
:' inspiration, import, and impact. He found and formed a ':
,: community early in his career in Chicago, where he lived for two :,
: years partly through a fruitful association with the great :
:' organist, Charles Earland during which Alexander, had become ':
,: steeped in the Chicago tenor tradition of such natives as Gene :,
: Ammons, Eddie Harris, Johnny Griffin, and Von Freeman. Such :
:' attributes as how to dynamically shape a solo, create long ':
,: ornamented bebop lines, and the cultivation of an improvisatory :,
: style that never forgets the importance of the blues were :
:' developed early, and continue to be a hallmark of Alexander s ':
,: unique style today. Another equally meaningful connection to :,
: Chicago for Alexander came in the form of a productive musical :
:' and personal relationship that the young saxophonist made with ':
,: pianist Harold Mabern (with whom Alexander studied at William :,
: Patterson). :
:' ':
,: 'Chicago to New York' pays tribute to the intersection and :,
: interplay that still exists between Chicago and New York. The :
:' stellar casting on this new album is split evenly with LeDonne ':
,: and Alexander representing New York, and the always excellent :,
: bassist Dennis Carroll and drummer George Fludas representing :
:' Chicago, where this dynamic rhythm section continues to live ':
,: and work. :,
