"This is not a sound that can be called laidback; this is a gale force wind gusting into town...." and "The music on Live at Marians crackles with spontaneity, and nobody is being careful. These guys came to kick down the doors and play some jazz." (Dave McClenaghan on "All About Jazz")
Almost ten years lasts the regular and very fruitful cooperation of the two band leaders which is documented another time with the latest album "Live at Marians".
or as another american review sums it up
A great Swiss set from tenorist Eric Alexander -- one that has him blowing beautifully with the trio of pianist Stewy Von Wattenwyl, really stretching out in a fresh new setting! We love Alexander's other albums, but it's especially nice to hear him here in the company of some different players -- as the group really seems to keep him on his toes, blowing boldly and in new ways to match the energy of Stewy's piano, Reggie Johnson's bass, and Kevin Chesham's drums. Some tracks are nice and long -- with lots of solo space
