New York’s world-renowned sextet One For All, taking its inspiration from the legendary groups of Miles Davis and Art Blakey, is an invigorating, high octane sextet that features original compositions and exceptional soloists. The band will close out 2008 with a special New Year’s performance.

The band features Eric Alexander (tenor saxophone), Jim Rotondi (trumpet), Steve Davis (trombone), David Hazeltine (piano), John Webber (bass), and Joe Farnsworth (drums).

One For All has been performing over ten years and last year they released their 11th album, Lineup on Sharp Nine Records. In the style of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers or the other great hard-bop groups of the 50’s and 60’s, One For All is a ’super group’ of the finest seasoned jazz musicianss. As their name implies, they work together for a common goal of delivering solid musical collaboration with all members contributing their individual styles.

With 17 CD’s out under his own name and appearing as sideman on countless others, Eric Alexander has made his mark on the jazz world and documented his progress as a tenor master. He has a rich tone and an aggressive, driving style that grabs the listeners attention and doesn’t let go. One can hear the influence of Sonny Stitt, Jackie McLean and George Coleman in his playing.
