Ft. Eric Person (Saxophones), Tim Regusis (keys), Adam Armstrong (bass), Peter O' Brian (drums)
Acclaimed saxophonist and composer Eric Person returns to the Falcon to celebrate his twelfth CD release Rhythm Edge. Eric’s body of work as a leader and sideman is
stylistically diverse and intrepid. He has performed and recorded with leaders within the vanguard of the jazz world namely McCoy Tyner, Dave Holland, and Wallace Roney. Recently, Eric has been heard contributing his saxophone to performances with the Slambovian Circus of Dreams. Critics have long taken note of Eric’s signature sound on alto and soprano saxophone.
John Chacona of Signal to Noise writes “Eric cultivates a sheer beauty of sound that’s often breathtaking.”
Bill Milkowski called Person “a risk-taking improviser and inveterate swinger.”
