Description:

Monty Alexander has been one of the most popular pianists in jazz for over 50 years. Early on, his prodigious technique and wide-ranging style garnered comparisons with the great Oscar Peterson. But there has always been another side to Alexanderâ??s playing. Usually, jazz grabs the upper hand, but on occasion he digs deep into his Jamaican roots. The 1974 Weâ??ve Only Just Begun recording signals the beginning of Jamaican pianist Monty Alexanderâ??s fruitful relationship with MPS, lasting over a decade and encompassing some dozen albums. On many he partners with no one else than fellow Jamaican and one of the fathers of ska, guitarist Ernest Ranglin. Among others, this Best Of includes tracks from Montyâ??s MPS classics like RASS!, Here Comes The Sun, Montreux Alexander â?? The Monty Alexander Trio Live At Montreux, Weâ??ve Only just Begun, Monty Strikes Again, Cobilimbo, or the untitled Monty Alexander & Ernest Ranglin. -

Here are the key cuts from the decade-plus of MPS recordings made by this great and unique jazz pianist, including many featuring fellow Jamaican Ernest Ranglin (one of the founding fathers of ska). You get 14 studio and live tracks on CD or double vinyl: «We've Only Just Begun,» «Satin Doll,» «Battle Hymn of the Republic,» «Monticello,» «Bluesology,» «Where Is Love,» «Just Friends,» «Here Comes the Sun,» «Love and Happiness,» «Green Dolphin Street» and more!
