Monty Alexander Trio Dakota Jazz Club

[caponsacchi]

Fludas is playing with everyone everywhere these days. On recordings, Monty's hardest swinging date was with Eugene Wright and Bobby Durham on the Van Heusen tune, "It Could Never Happen to You." Live, I never heard him swing more than with a trio pre-dating Clayton and Hamilton. It had Duffy Jackson on drums and a bass player whose name I don't remember. It showed me that it doesn't take a high profile rhythm section to swing; teamwork counts for everything.

@the dakota in mpls?

[otaama]

He did more than one album where he played jazz version of Bob Marley's music.... but there is one particular album I heard that blows my mind but I don't know what it was called.

[jonepomuk]

This is so freaking awesome! I love that guys approach to funk and pop music from a jazz point of view.

What an amazing pianist. I love it. <3

[fr2ncm9]

I was introduced to his music many years ago when I bought "Ivory and Steel". What can I say, this man is an outstanding musician!

[40acresandafool]

Does anyone have his album Jamento? If so could some please upload the track Weekend in LA?

[ryanbandy1]

He's one sick bastard. I have most of his pre-tape/cd era recordings on record that my dad used to play all the time when I was a kid. It's all on his i-pod that I loaded up for him. He would have no idea how to do it being 74 yrs old.

[RONNIESCOTT2]

This guy is so talented. He can play literally ANYTHING with such ease. respect and long live to him and his musicians.

[sana325]

[ryanbandy1]

I have it. I don't know how to send it though??

[chazinko]

This song is called "Grub" from the live Goin' Yard CD.

[myoeman]

to all who ask "who is this man?". Monty Alexander is arguably the most talented musician to ever come out of Jamaica. He's a fantastic pianist and is often overlooked when people think of masterful jazz pianists.

[lonegorilla]

This guy dated a friend of mine, wasn't too nice at one point to others too.

He's a black wanna be man.

Still can push em out./ for a polynesion.

[leilajiva]

I saw him last night at Ronnie Scott's in London! OMG, it was guuuuuuuuuud. My favorite jazz pianist on the planet.
