Dead Center album Product Description



Dead Center album by Eric Alexander was released Sep 14, 2004 on the High Note label. Recalling the moody and atmospheric mid-to-late-'60s work of fellow reedmen Wayne Shorter and Hank Mobley, tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander's Dead Center has a reflective quality that lends itself to such timely compositions as McCoy Tyner's "Search for Peace." It also reveals Alexander's lithe and gentle touch on standards including "Almost Like Being in Love," while lesser known works like Herbie Hancock's "Sonrisa" showcase his deft harmonic invention and superb rhythmic sense. Similarly, pianist Harold Mabern's groove-oriented "A Few Miles From Memphis" is propelled along by drummer Joe Farnsworth's soul-inflected beat with Alexander nudging lines back and forth deep inside the rhythm pocket. While not a significant departure from his past work, Dead Center nonetheless finds Alexander revealing himself as a grounded and muscular improviser who never takes his eye off the target. ~ Matt Collar Liner Note Author: Neil Tesser. Recording information: Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, NJ (06/10/2004). Photographer: John Abbott. Personnel: Eric Alexander (tenor saxophone); Eric Alexander ; John Webber (double bass); Harold Mabern (piano); Joe Farnsworth (drums).   ...See Full Description

Very good album
Dead Center is a good album along the lines of Eric's earlier recordings. It is not as "burnin" as the 2nd Milestone, but Alexander fans(I'm one)will enjoy this record(I did).
