Two sets: 7:30 and 9:30pm. Internationally acclaimed saxophonist Eric Person, while best known for his sideman work with Dave Holland and Chico Hamilton is an inventive bandleader in his own right. A capable section man who has held down the alto chair in big bands led by David Murray, McCoy Tyner and John Hicks, Person gets an opportunity to show off his talent as a composer/ arranger fronting his own 12-man unit: the Eric Person Big Band.The ensemble, which features some of New York's finest players, have a supple airy sound not often heard in a big band. John Murph in his review of Person's latest cd in Down Beat gave the music 4 1/2 stars said: "Thoughts on God could be the career-defining album that Eric Person needs to garner greater recognition." The Eric Person Big Band endlessly intrigues musically.
