Jazz Bar Special: Listen To The Music Of … Monty Alexander
In the organizer's words:
Monty Alexander @ 80: From Jamaica to the stages of the world
The spirited pianist turns 80 on June 6. Hans-Bernd Kittlaus celebrates this tonight with recordings from his entire career. From bluesy performances with Milt Jackson and Ray Brown in the 1960s to "Montreux Alexander" with John Clayton and Jeff Hamilton, one of the best piano trio albums of all time, to his Jamaican roots and his collaboration with a who's who of American jazz from Tony Bennett and the Basie Band, Ernestine Anderson and Barbara Hendricks to Clark Terry and Dizzy Gillespie. Today he is considered an elder statesman of jazz and is still active.
