Recording

[edit | edit source]

The album was recorded at the Avatar Studio in New York on October 3, 2009.[1] It was produced by Tetsuo Hara and Todd Barkan.[1] The four musicians are tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, pianist Harold Mabern, bassist John Webber, and drummer Joe Farnsworth.[2] The material is compositions by saxophonist John Coltrane and other pieces associated with him.[2]

Release and reception

[edit | edit source]

Chim Chim Cheree was released by Venus Records in 2010.[2] The IAJRC Journal reviewer concluded that Alexander's "tackling of the Coltrane oeuvre should have been of considerable interest. Except for a few instances, the results are a bit flat."[3]
