| Eric's John Coltrain, George Coleman, Lee Konitz, Stanley Turrentine and Sonny Rollins rolled into one. Tell me if I missed anyone.... |

| Eric is the real deal, he works hard at his craft! Also writes a column in Runners World, he is a dedicated practicer & a marathon runner. As far as his sound, he does long tone practice everyday. You should hear his sound live, Wow! |

| He's either three cones down...or he really needs three cones...Relax man and let the music flow, you can play a shoestring if you are sincere...Coltrane said that. Peace. |

| you guys are obviously fucking nuts. eric alexander is one of the best sax players out there right now... he should have beaten joshua redman in the monk comp. in 91. |

| I'm really not into his sound...I just seems to straightforward with no life to it whatsoever...Technique wise hes a monster, but the way he shows it just isn't to my liking. |
| Pretty outside ... ( 7 months ago by youbiedoobiedoo) |
| Pretty outside playing for such an inside player. I think he is stretching, which is always cool! Not sure if I'm accurate, but I hear a lot of George Coleman influence, who I like! However, I don't hear any of Stanley's time feel, power, emotion and soul, other then the fact that he happens to be the composer of the tune. But, hey, maybe he's trying to put his own stamp on the music. Esp.since a lot of people do this RealBook tune - better to say your own thing, but still, it sounds stiff&cold. |

| one of the best out there today! His tone is great.. love the big Chicago sound |
| Respect to Eric ... ( 6 months ago by koko420) |
| Respect to Eric Alexander, I think he is a wonderful saxophonist, although I tend to grow tired of his playing after listening to him for extended periods of time. I find cats like Jimmy Greene and Wayne Escoffery more interesting. |
| Eric studied with ... ( 5 months ago by alexwcoleman) |
| Eric studied with Big George for a long while, and when asked for lessons, George tells folks to go see Eric. If you want to hear Eric in a great duelling tenor situation check out Reeds 'n Deeds on Criss Cross records with Grant Stewart. |

| Yeah, heard the ... ( 4 months ago by youbiedoobiedoo) |
| Yeah, heard the dueling with Grant. Grant wins easily. Eric comes off as a "licks" player. Doesn't hold interest over the long haul. Also why doesn't he duel with cats of a different style (like the old days). How about a Brecker/Coltrane clone (a period he doesn't ack much in his playing) or Garzone, Bergonzi, J. Frahm, Potter or Margitza, Tim Riess or etc! Know what I mean? Eric's music is locked in time & doesn't pay tribute to enough of jazz history! Coleman is not liked by all...ask Herbie. |

| Nice playing ... ( 3 months ago by craig19721972) |
| Nice playing technique fine ,tone great,too much playing in the same octave,also be nice to hear everyone else solo too as this is what jazz is all about.Maybe a bit predictable in note choice after second time around the head. |
| You realize that ... ( 3 months ago by Jazzguitar00) |
| You realize that the person who posted this isn't Eric Alexander...right? And even if it was, Eric Alexander is already building a carreer in New York and probably doesn't need youtube for feedback. |
| I love Eric's ... ( 2 months ago by saxman1717) |
| I love Eric's approach to interpretation of someone else's landmark tune....but in this instance I must say....Stanley Turrentine he is not and should not have attempted to put this into a Love Supreme Mode! I have found that no one has the ability to follow in the foot steps of the masters. SAD!!! |
