That drummer really knows his way around his kit. He's getting all kinds of sounds out of his kit. I like how he subtly comes in an out with his snare changing speed while keeping time and soft volume. Not too many rock drummers can do that
The Monty Alexander Jazz Festival 2021 runs over Labor Day Weekend. Shows take place indoors and outdoors. Patrons must show proof of vaccination to enter indoor concerts.
Nice! Heard more than a half dozen different interpretations from Monty, all equally delightful. Obed Calvaire is just great. Love the way he and bassist Hassan Shakur carry the tune while Monty does some talkin'!
Hi” to All” - Yes ( Monty ‘s. Trio , FAB* - saw them twice at ( Brecon jazz in time gone bye ,etc = absolutely great entertainment & showmanship in every. Way ! - cheers .
Excellent stuff, but Monty does an even better version of this on 'The Paris Concert' which can be had on DVD recorded July 2001. It's also on 'TH-cam'

Pure GENIUS, Monty leaves no doubts that he stands among the greatest jazz masters of all time.
Monty is a genius 😢
Had the pleasure of meeting Monty last night in a local Italian restaurant, Il Melograno, in NYC last night. Quite a surprise and a delight!

Just love jazz
The definitive version for me is still Montreux Alexander. Monty swings!
I totally agree with you Jennifer !! Amazing swing and groove with the great John Clayton and Jeff Hamilton ! Cheers from France
Montreux Alexander was recorded in 1976. Monty was 32 years old back then. I think he will agree.
Brilliant playing
Wow! you guys are great! I can't believe you only received 7,000 views.
