RALPH ALESSI QUARTET

Ralph Alessi is an adventurous virtuoso who can play in any context and has been a much demanded sideman for over fifteen years. He worked with Fred Hersch, Steve Coleman, Uri Caine, Don Byron and many others. Recently he did a memorable concert with the group of Drew Gress at the Bimhuis (who also plays in this formation). ‘As a trumpeter, Mr. Alessi combines pristine technique with an exploratory yen.’, wrote the The New York Times.
