Reuniting for their third outing under the Reeds and Deeds banner, tenor saxophonists Eric Alexander and Grant Stewart lock horns once more in a spirit of mutual admiration.

While their collaborative ethos makes Tenor Time the thoroughly musical affair that it is, Eric and Grant bring to the date that unmistakable charge of friendly rivalry as well.

Joined by the formidable roster of David Hazeltine (paino), John Webber (bass), and Joe Farnsworth ( drums) – Eric’s bandmates in the all-star sextet One For All –this two-tenor frontline means business.

The program, rich in standard repertoire (“Tenderly”) and postbop classics (Donald Byrd’s “Omicron”), also includes a cutthroat tenor battle on the burning “Rise and Shine,” made famous by John Coltrane.

?Derde plaat onder de noemer Reeds and Deeds met tenor saxofonisten Eric Alexander en Grant Stewart ?Een gezamenlijke reis, misschien wel een uiterst muzikale affaire, maar ook een album die onmiskenbaar belast is met vriendelijke rivaliteit tussen Grant en Eric?Begeleid door de formidabele David Hazeltine (piano), John Webber (bas), en Joe Farnsworth (drums) ?Bekende standards en postbop klassiekers?Bevat ook een moordende tenor solo in het brandende "Rise and Shine ', beroemd geworden door John Coltrane
