Artist/Band: |  | Monty Alexander Trio | Name: |  | Love Me Tender | Cat No.: |  | VHCD-1051 | Performed by: |  | Monty Alexander (piano) Hassan Shakur (bass) Willie Jones III (drums)
| Release Date: |  | 03/16/2011 | Description: |  | Veteran pianist Monty Alexander left Jamaica and came to the United States at age 17. This new recording for Venus Records celebrates his 50 years in the land of jazz. Known for his straight ahead sensibilities and sometimes considered a successor of Oscar Peterson, his long career has widened his musical spectrum and brought maturity to his playing.
Soulful, swinging, funky and decidedly straight ahead, Alexander's maturity brought a certain richness and relaxed elegance to his playing. With his trusted rhythm section, he plays standards and a couple of his originals, plus a few of Ray Brown's (his mentor and early collaborator) repertory. This is one of his strongest albums in recent years!
Recorded at Avatar Studio in New York on September 12 and 13, 2010. | Eastwind Import Price: |  |
