ONE FOR ALL - INVADES VANCOUVER is a beautiful bombardment of swinging exuberance not to be messed with.

ONE FOR ALL is a New York-based band comprised of six talented and successful musicians. Collectively, they have been sidemen to jazz greats Lionel Hampton, Art Blakey, Chick Corea, Ray Charles, Louis Hayes, George Coleman, Benny Golson and Chet Baker to name a few. Having achieved exceptional musicianship individually, each member of this jazz sextet possesses his own singular style and together they have created a rare, unique sound that has become the signature of ONE FOR ALL.

"One for All's Incorrigible showcases some of the best original writing the group has had in its 14 releases. It no longer sounds like a bunch of "young lions" thrown together in a recording studio.
Cohesive and interdependent, these musicians bring out the best in one another, resulting in an album filled with thoughtful communication and high energy improvisation."All About Jazz"

"Rotondi's solos are a near-perfect amalgam of power, finesse and logic."
- David A. Orthmann, allaboutjazz.com

"Steve is one of the greatest Trombone Players in the world.  I've played with a lot of them including Slide Hampton, Curtis Fuller and J.J.
Johnson, and Steve is one of the best."- Freddie Hubbard

"Even in the crowded, competitive New York scene, it is obvious to me that the hip-without-fanfare Hazeltine is a standout."- Ira Gitler
