Hometown
Kingston, Jamaica
Born
June 6, 1944
Genre
Jazz
Jamaica-born pianist Monty Alexander is a sophisticated, prolific performer with an urbane swinging style informed by the bop tradition as well as the reggae and Caribbean folk he grew up with. Influenced by pianist Oscar Peterson, Alexander initially garnered attention performing in night clubs in the late '50s. Following a move to Miami, he gained wider renown with 1965's Alexander the Great and 1976's Live! Montreux Alexander. Over the years, he has continued to explore a vibrant, cross-pollinated sound, moving from straight-ahead acoustic jazz to Jamaican sounds on albums like 1980's Trio, 1994's Jamboree: Monty Alexander's Ivory and Steel, and 2011's Grammy-nominated Harlem-Kingston Express. He brought all these influences to bear on 2019's Thelonious Monk-inspired Wareika Hill Rastamonk Vibrations and 2022's Love Notes. In 2024, he released D-Day in honor of the 80th anniversary of the landings at Normandy during WWII.
Monty Alexander has also released music as a member of Monty Alexander's Jamaican Project, The Monty Alexander Trio, Dizzy Gillespie Jam, Monty & The Cyclones Monty Alexander's Ivory & Steel.
