Eric Person - Arrival (1993)

Eric inherited a strong blues inflexion from his musician father. A child prodigy, the young man sampled all kinds of music before settling on modern jazz. This record makes a highly confident start. Burrage and fellow Hamilton alumnus DeNigris are spot-on for Person's smart but funky music. Eric has a seemingly limitless bag of ideas and varies his attack nicely according to the material. ~ www.amazon.com. 

This is Eric’s first album as a leader and release on Soul Note Records. For this album he surrounds himself with some excellent musicians which include pianist Michael Cain, guitarist Cary Denigris on two tracks, bassist Kenny Davis and drummer Ronnie Burrage. Eric presents seven of his own compositions with remainder comprising of one by Kenny Davis and another from Chico Hamilton, a musician with whom he toured extensively earlier in his career. As a whole the group across a number sessions expounds a post-bop essence that is truly engaging to the listener, enjoy!
