Portón del Jazz 2026 will welcome Eric Alexander Jazz Syndicate on Friday, 17 July, led by one of contemporary jazz’s most highly regarded saxophonists.

The concert will begin at 10:00 p.m. at Finca Municipal El Portón, one of Alhaurín de la Torre’s most distinctive cultural venues.

A Night of Hard Bop and New York Swing

Eric Alexander has built his career around a powerful sound deeply rooted in hard bop and straight-ahead jazz.

His latest project combines original compositions, improvisation and a strong sense of swing. One of the main highlights will be the front line formed by tenor saxophonists Eric Alexander and Daniel Torres, recalling some of the great saxophone encounters in jazz history.

An International Quintet

The line-up is completed by guitarist Rale Micic, double bassist Ugonna Okegwo and drummer E.J. Strickland, three musicians closely connected to the international jazz scene and particularly to New York.

The result promises to be an energetic and elegant performance combining tradition, virtuosity and close interaction between the five musicians.
