Description
Cecil Alexander’s debut album as a bandleader, featuring Will Gorman on organ and Steven Crammer on drums. Alexander’s playing is steeped in the rich history of the guitarists that have come before him, and he carries this torch into the future, breathing new life and passion into guitar-based jazz.
“Ideas and chops and sensitivity. Everything we want to hear and everything we want to play.” – Kurt Rosenwinkel
