Description
A collection of Monty Alexander's finest recent live recordings, it's simply jazz piano at it's very best. Monty is internationally acclaimed for his swinging piano style and superb musicality - many consider him be one of the greatest living jazz pianists in the world today.
These selections have been carefully chosen from some of Monty's numerous world tours and show his working trio displaying an uncanny telepathic musical communication. The interplay is phenomenal and his trademark swinging style is as sharp as ever. In Hal Leonard's 2005 book 'The Greatest Jazz Piano Players of All Time', Monty Alexander was listed among the top five. Monty has played with some of the great names in jazz, including Milt Jackson, Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Brown and Oscar Peterson, and has recorded regularly for labels such as MPS, Concord and Telarc.
Personnel: Monty Alexander (piano), Hassan Shakur (bass), Herlin Riley, Frits Landesbergen (drums)
