About

Eric Alexander started piano lessons at the age of six. He took up the clarinet at nine and switched
Tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander made his first CD as a bandleader in 1992, at the age of 25. Many jazz writers dubbed him a "young lion" and a musician on his way up. That was 17 years and more than 20 CDs ago. Oddly enough, though, you can still sometimes see Alexander described as an "up-and-coming" jazz saxophonist. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth — he's fully developed into one of the finest bebop saxophonists in the world. ~ N.P.R.
