Festival International de Jazz de Montréal:

The Battle: Eric Alexander & Vincent Herring

Eric Alexander and Vincent Herring have been at the forefront of the modern jazz scene since the 1990s.

Alexander came up through Chicago and New York, making waves with mentors like Harold Mabern for his powerful tenor sound and deep harmonic command. Herring, a standout altoist with early ties to Nat Adderley and Cedar Walton, built his reputation on a soulful, high-energy style.
