Eric Alexander Trio – Just One Of Those Things (2016) [Japan] [SACD / Venus Records – VHGD-188]

Title: Eric Alexander Trio – Just One Of Those Things (2016) [Japan]
Genre: Jazz
Format: SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

Eric Alexander has had many opportunities to record as a leader for several different labels, though producer Tetsuo Hara, owner of the Japanese label Venus, has become a huge fan, recording him almost any time he travels to New York City. This is another superb outing by Eric Alexander on a freewheeling trio to compile a nine-track full of jazz’s favorite staples from John Coltrane, Cole Porter and many more! There’s a new sort of edge in Eric’s horn, sided with the sublime work of Dezron Douglas on bass and Neal Smith on drums, which he displays throughout the set with a new great sense of spirituality. Well recommended!
