pianist Monty Alexander

Pianist Monty Alexander is a great showman with an acute vision of what makes good jazz. His repertoire embraces a set of deeply groovy tunes that work so well together that it would be pointless to determine what's jazz and what's reggae. The end result is an absolute joy to the ear! —The New Yorker Magazine

Alexander is credited with creating a terrific fusion of genres. He can swing Oscar Peterson-style then seamlessly switch to the deep reggae grooves of “Freddie Freeloader” with no disappointment on either front. —AllMusic.com

Monty is an American classic… delighting a global audience drawn to his vibrant personality and soulful message. He gives the hardcore-jazz-obsessed much to dig into... while communicating his endless melody-making, effervescent grooves, sophisticated voicings and romantic spirit to the squarest “civilian.” —AllAboutJazz.com
