The Jazz Show Episode August 16, 2010
Broadcast on 16-Aug-2010
9:00pm - 12:00am
This band of musicians are the cream of the crop of New York City's "straight-ahead" players. I hate to use that cliche phrase but to expand that a bit I would like to say that the musicians in this band reflect the deep and rich traditions of Jazz music while still remaining modern and relevant. The people involved in this great band called "One For All" have been playing together as a group for over 20 years and when you hear their music you'll understand that fact as the ensembles are tight and beautifully orchestrated to make the three horn front line sound much bigger than it is. There is a huge difference between a one time get-together of great musicians and a band and this is a BAND! The people involved are Jim Rotondi on trumpet and flugelhorn, Eric Alexander on tenor saxophone, Steve Davis on trombone, David Hazeltine on piano, John Webber on bass and the dynamic Joe Farnsworth on drums. When you read these names you will recognize them all as they are some of the most significant voices on their instruments in Modern Jazz. Sit back and enjoy the sounds of "One For All" and their latest offering: "Incorrigible".
