One for All

Jim Rotondi - trumpet, Eric Alexander - tenor sax, Steve Davis - trombone, David Hazeltine - piano, John Webber - bass (or Peter Washington - bass), Joe Farnsworth - drums.

The cooperative sextet One For All was formed in 1996 in NYC at the legendary jazz club Augie's (now Smoke). Collectively, the band has forged a powerful, yet sleek sound which has become synonymous with hard-swinging, straight-ahead modern jazz. Individually, each member of One For All has earned a sterling reputation not only as a soloist/bandleader (via solo recordings and tours), but as a top-shelf, first-call player on the NYC scene.
