You can see Grant Stewart live tomorrow (Sunday). Grant's Quartet will be at Smalls Jazz Club. You can stream it at no cost. Smalls does a concert with a wide range of musicians every single day that can be streamed. Google Smallslive to get the information. We purchased a connector that allows us to connect our laptop (could use tablet or phone) to our large screen tv. During the past 4 months we have viewed via streaming,about a dozen live concerts from Smalls.

Red Rodney - Yard's Pad - with Arne Domnerus, Bengt Hallberg, Red Mitchell, Ed Thigpen - Sonet

I very much enjoy Eric Alexander's playing. I hear a variety of influences definitely including Dexter. By no means does he sound like a copy of George Coleman to my ears. Have seen Eric live a number of times and have quite a few of his recordings. I may slightly prefer Grant Stewart's tenor playing, but Eric is, for me, one of the very best tenor players on the scene today.

There is some top level Wardell Gray here.

Franck - String Quartet

Symphony No.4 in E minor
