Alex Norris has been one of the most sought-after elite trumpeters for the past three decades on NY scene

Norris received a Master's degree from the Manhattan School of Music and a Doctor's degree from the Univ. of Miami Frost School of Music. He has kept busy schedule performing principal post in renowned large and small ensembles all over the world. Despite his impressive achievement Alex Norris' leader albums are scarce. This is his fourth album and the second for SteepleChase. Norris forms a time- tested yet distinctive trumpet trio with some contemporary twists superbly collaborated by Paul Bollenbach on guitar and Paul Gill on bass.

"Norris writes and plays with rare assurance and seldom walks on overly familiar paths...he's not an aggressive stylist and his penchant for thoughtful dynamics gives him the confdence to leave space and unexpected intervals in his solos." - The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD
