Eric Alexander • Song of No Regrets

Blessed with a rounded tone and impressive technical chops, Alexander has long carried on the swinging, acoustic jazz tradition with his saxophone sound informed by such icons as John Coltrane. With his superb 2017 effort, the Latin-infused Song of No Regrets, he reveals this inventive side, offering up a set of groove-based anthems, inspired in part by the buoyant '60s pop of Sergio Mendes.

Bendecido con un tono redondeado e impresionantes habilidades técnicas, Alexander ha continuado durante mucho tiempo la tradición del jazz acústico oscilante con su sonido de saxofón inspirado en íconos como John Coltrane. Con su magnífico esfuerzo de 2017, la canción con infusión latina of No Regrets, revela este lado inventivo, ofreciendo un conjunto de himnos basados en el groove, inspirados en parte por el boyante pop de los años 60 de Sergio Mendes.
