Born

August 4, 1968

Genre

Jazz

Known for his warm tone and robust, bop-informed lyricism, saxophonist Eric Alexander has carried the torch for straight-ahead modern jazz into the 21st century. Influenced by artists like Dexter Gordon and George Coleman, Alexander initially garnered attention playing in Chicago in the early '90s before moving to New York. He has received acclaim for his driving hard bop albums, including 1999's Man with a Horn, 2006's It's All in the Game, and 2017's Song of No Regrets. In 2019, he issued the trio album Leap of Faith as well as the sophisticated orchestral session Eric Alexander with Strings. In 2023 he released A New Beginning: Alto Saxophone with Strings.

Eric Alexander has also released music as a member of Eric Alexander Trio, One For All, The New York Allstars, Eric Alexander Quintet, Eric Alexander Quartet, and The Heavy Hitters.
