Great, soulful performances by one of the world s greatest living pianists.

Exceptional performances by Monty s working trio, recorded in
some of the world s great concert halls.

In a career spanning five decades, pianist Monty Alexander has

Rollins, Clark Terry, Quincy Jones, and many more.
Monty maintains an active touring schedule, from intimate
jazz clubs to concert halls and jazz festivals. His collaborations
span multiple genres, styles, and generations, with projects as
varied as assisting Natalie Cole with Unforgettable, which won
seven Grammys, to recording the piano track for the film score
of Clint Eastwood s Bird, a movie about the life of jazz titan
Charlie Parker.
In Hal Leonard s book The 50 Greatest Jazz Piano Players of
All Time, Monty is listed in the top five.
