Harold Alexander

Skilled saxophonist and flutist whose early and middle-’70s albums for Traveling Dutchman and Atlantic combined originals, spirit/jazz and R&B effectively. Alexander was a far more powerful soloist on flute; the 1971 discharge ARE YOU SET contained great remakes of “REARFOOT Sneakers” and “Watermelon Guy,” and was documented on the Montreux Jazz Celebration.
