Monty Alexander

SACD MULTICHANNEL HYBRID DISC

Separate and apart from being the best musician he can be, Alexander's most important objective "whether his vehicle is reggae or jazz or soul, small combo or symphony" is to express the joy of music to all within earshot, regardless of prevailing differences in taste or culture. "My goal is to uplift," says Alexander. "The piano, to me, is a vehicle for connecting to other human beings. I'm very open to all forms of music. I'm not a bebop musician, I'm not a calypso musician, I'm not a reggae musician. I'm a musician who loves it all. - All About Jazz
