One of the straight-ahead jazz world's strongest lineups has returned: the heavy-hitting all-star sextet One For All is back for its fourth Sharp Nine release - the long-awaited follow-up to 2006's highly acclaimed release bThe Lineup/b, One For All continues to display all the virtues for which it has come to be known: commanding solos, beautifully voiced horn arrangements delivered with flawless execution, and a peerless sense of swing and drive. For bReturn of The Lineup/b the band offers six artful originals and wonderful arrangements of Gershwin's iBut Not For Me/i and Cedar Walton's iDear Ruth/i. This is old school, hardcore jazz music that is at the same time fresh, modern and timeless.
2009 release by one of the Jazz world's strongest all-star sextets. One For All continues to display all the virtues for which it has come to be known: commanding solos, beautifully voiced horn arrangements delivered with flawless execution, and a peerless sense of swing and drive. For Return of The Lineup, the band offers six artful originals and wonderful arrangements of Gershwin's 'But Not For Me' and Cedar Walton's 'Dear Ruth'. This is old school, hardcore Jazz music that is at the same time fresh, modern and timeless.
One for All is a band of New York-based veterans who've played with one another in various combinations, as well as making a number of CDs together under this name with little change in personnel, and of whom all but one are founding members. Featuring tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, trombonist Steve Davis, and trumpeter Jim Rotondi in the front line, plus a rhythm section with pianist David Hazeltine, bassist John Webber, and drummer Joe Farnsworth. While each of them (save Webber) works and records often as an individual bandleader, there is an incredible blend of inspired solos, fresh compositions, and arrangements, along with a spirit of cooperation where no egos get in the way of great music. Hazeltine's peppy "Treatise for Reedus" is an uptempo salute to the talented drummer, who died suddenly at the premature age of only 49 a few days prior to this recording session. Alexander's Latin-flavored "Road to Marostica" features tight ensemble work and invigorating solos, while he was also responsible for the updated treatment of George Gershwin's "But Not for Me." This is a rewarding date by a sextet that is always ready to give their all. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide
One for All
Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Neo-Bop, Post-Bop, Hard Bop
Hearkening back to the classic '60s Blue Note-style jazz sextets popularized by drummer Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, One for All is one of the foremost mainstream jazz ensembles to come out of the '90s. A super-group of straight-ahead jazz names, the group technically formed in 1997 for a gig at the storied New York City club Small's in Greenwich Village. However, the seeds of the group go back to 1988, when the then up-and-coming young lions trumpeter Jim Rotondi, tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, and drummer Joe Farnsworth all met while gigging in New York City. Later, Farnsworth introduced former-Jazz Messenger trombonist Steve Davis into the fold. In 1996, pianist David Hazeltine and bassist Peter Washington signed on, and One for All was born. Billed as One for All featuring Eric Alexander -- an obvious reflection of the growing popularity of the talented reedman -- the group released its debut album, Too Soon to Tell on Sharp Nine in 1997. Subsequent releases, including 2003's Wide Horizons, focused less on any single member, better reflecting the communal ethos of the band.
