Tracks list

Monty Alexander long ago combined together the influence of Oscar Peterson with
the soul of Gene Harris and Nat King Cole to form his own appealing and
personable style. Long a bit underrated (due to the shadow of Peterson),
Alexander has recorded more than a score of excellent albums. Monty Alexander
began piano lessons when he was six and he played professionally in Jamaican
clubs while still a teenager; his band, Monty and the Cyclones, was quite
popular locally during 1958-1960. He first played in the U.S. when he appeared
in Las Vegas with Art Mooneys Orchestra. Soon he was accompanying a variety of
top singers, formed a friendship with vibraphonist Milt Jackson, and began
gigging with bassist Ray Brown. With the recording of a pair of Pacific Jazz
albums in 1965, an RCA date in 1967, and a Verve session in 1969, Alexander
began to gain a strong reputation. His series of exciting albums for MPS during
1971-1977 found him in prime form, and his recordings in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s
found him building on his original style. Alexander, who often pays tribute to
his Jamaican heritage, performs regularly with his own trio and swings hard in
his own voice.
