This Weekend: Eric Alexander Quartet

I so wanna go!  I can plan, that's all I can.

This Weekend at Smoke Friday & Saturday, June 13 & 14 FEATURED ARTIST Eric Alexander Quartet Known for high-octane energy and impressive technical facility, Eric Alexander is one of today's premier jazz saxophonists. Frank Alkyer writes in Downbeat, "Eric Alexander can play the tenor saxophone—never doubt that. He has the chops, power and passion that make him one of the most blazingly bad-assed saxophonists of his generation." On his latest studio recording, Chicago Fire, Eric explores the rich musical tradition of one of his adopted hometowns, The Windy City, and its many tenor saxophone heroes. These are some of Eric's most important influences and there's no doubt he'll include some of their music from his inspired record.

Cobb says, "It just sounds like us…like when we first started to play together years ago, but I remember like it was yesterday. I always enjoyed the way we played together." The Original Mob is available as a 8-panel CD-Deluxe Album complete with liner notes, interview and additional photos or as a high resolution download mastered for iTunes.

As you may be aware, we have recently launched our own record label and have introduced a catalog that includes recordings made live at the club. We sincerely apologize if any of our CD release mails have caused you any inconvenience. Since your primary interest may be club news, we have decided to keep most record label emails on a separate list which means that this newsletter will only have brief news about Smoke Sessions Records, as part of our regular weekly mailings.
