Reviewed: 2018-05-05 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: Eclipse is a wonderful third outing by Alexander. There is a nice range of tempos and feels, reflective moments and dramatic displays of virtuosity, and even moments of free group improvisation. Alexander is a confident and creative player that has a trio that converses with trust and respect. Adding the amazing sound of Joshua Redman on select tracks, and you have a magical, musical journey.
