This is the first in a multi-part series of 'Gentle Ballads' by the quartet led by US jazz saxophonist Eric Alexander. The musician has a huge following, especially in Japan, and Venus Records has produced several recordings with him, including this one in 2004. Accompanied by Mike LeDonna on piano, John Webber on bass and Joe Farnsworth on drums, 'Gentle Ballads' is stylistically reminiscent of John Coltrane's ballad album from the 1960s.
