Quotes :

"Alex is a very gifted and expressive saxophonist. He's shown in performance a very strong developing conception as a composer and a soloist". Joe Lovano

“He is just one of the most outstanding students that I have . I recommend Alex Terrier to anyone who needs a sax player”. George Garzone

“He has a very creative imagination and is both an excellent player and accomplished composer/arranger […] a superioer talent that I would have to place in the top 5% of all the great writer/players I've seen go through Berklee these past 33 years”. Ken Pullig

“His command of all saxophones is impressive and his work ethics are like I have never seen. He is a great friend and an inspiration to me as a musician”. Jeff Davis
