Pianist Rick Germanson is a fixture of the New York City jazz scene, where he’s an in-demand session player and prolific bandleader, but he still makes frequent voyages back to his native Milwaukee. His latest return home finds him playing with tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, who has recorded several lovely bop albums for HighNote Records. Bassist Dezron Douglas and drummer Neal Smith round out the quartet.
