Monty Alexander in Paris

Monty Alexander, piano
Born in Jamaica on D-Day - a symbolic sign of fate? - Monty Alexander quickly leaves his native land for the United States. In New York, he regularly accompanies Frank Sinatra and performs in the jazz clubs of Manhattan (including the famous Minton's which saw the birth of bebop) where Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Miles Davis do not miss an opportunity to see him play.
After more than fifty years of a career adorned with collaborations with Tony Bennett, Nathalie Cole, Clint Eastwood, Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Quincy Jones, Ernest Ranglin or Barbara Hendricks, the pianist tirelessly travels the world to delight the public with his vibrant personality, carrying an original musical message, where the heady beat of reggae intersects with the contagious swing of swing.

One of the greatest hard cookers of all time.

Monty Alexander is an international treasure. As the years roll by, some things remain Evergreen and Monty is certainly an artist for the ages. Personally, no one has influenced me more, and I am so grateful to have been turned onto his music in my teenage years. Thank you, Mr. Alexander!

Also discovered Monty in my teens, agree with you that “no one has influenced me more” ❤💯🎵

Monty is brave to undertake a solo concert after his stroke. He's lost a lot of his brilliant technique but the swing and the timing is still there. Go Monty!
