+ Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare
Monty Alexander wurde 1944 in Kingston, Jamaika geboren. Er begann in lokalen Calypso- und R&B-Bands zu spielen, bevor er von Amerika aus eine steile Karriere als Jazz-Pianist startete. Aufbauend auf die Tradition von Nat King Cole, führt Alexander die von Erroll Garner oder Oscar Peterson eingeschlagene Jazz-Piano-Trio-Linie fort. Frank Sinatra meinte einst: "Dieser Junge ist wie Sprengstoff." Für Dave Brubeck ist er schlicht und ergreifend ein "Klavier-Fuchs". Robbie Shakespeare wurde 1953 in Kingston, Jamaika geboren. Als Bassist und Produzent war er an einer Unmenge von Reggae- und Rock-Einspielungen beteiligt. Nicht nur Joan Armatrading sondern auch Mick Jagger wollten nicht auf die Dienste des Black-Uhuru-Mannes verzichten. Sly Dunbar wurde 1952 in Kingston, Jamaika geboren. Der Schlagzeuger gillt als rechte Hand von Robbie Shakespeare und war für Peter Tosh, The Mighty Diamonds, Bob Dylan, Grace Jones, Joe Cocker, Herbie Hancock oder Carly Simon aktiv. Das Dreier-Gestirn aus Jamaika trifft sich nun bei Monty Meets Sly And Robbie und serviert dabei eine exklusive Mischung aus Reggae, Jazz, Rock, Funk, Calypso und Soul. Unterstützt werden die Superstars dabei von Keyboarder Handel Tucker sowie Percussionist Desmond Jones und heraus kam dabei ein höchst hitverdächtiges Album. Denn die Cover-Versionen von Klassikern wie Mercy, Mercy (Joe Zawinul), People Make The World Go Round (The Stylistics), The In Crowd (Ramsey Lewis) oder Chameleon (Herbie Hancock) hat man so groovend und Dub-mäßig pulsierend noch nie gehört. Monty Alexander hat damit sich und sein 1999-er Album Stir It Up – The Music Of Bob Marley noch einmal übertroffen.
On Monty Meets Sly and Robbie, pianist and Kingston, Jamaica native Monty Alexander teams up with Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare—reggae’s most respected and experienced rhythm section—to create a killer combination of classic soul tunes, funky jazz and modern grooves with a hardcore, dub flavor.
Sophisticated and down-to-earth, Monty Meets Sly and Robbie crafts its own blend of jazzy soul infused with fresh beats and a stripped-to-the-bone sound. Rousing takes on Joe Zawinul’s "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy," The Stylistics "People Make The World Go Round," Ramsey Lewis’ "The In Crowd," Herbie Hancock’s "Chameleon," and other numbers from the late ‘50s and ‘60s, connect Alexander not only to jazz, but to an equally worthy legacy of soul.
Monty Alexander grew up in Kingston, Jamaica where he began piano lessons at the age of six. While still a youngster, he enjoyed the performances of Louis Armstrong and Nat "King" Cole, and his style of playing was deeply affected by their joyful gospel of jazz. In 1963, Alexander was performing in Las Vegas, Nevada with Art Mooney’s Orchestra and was observed by Jilly Rizzo and "the chairman of the board" Frank Sinatra. Jilly hired him to work at his club in New York City, and it was there that he met and was hired by Milt Jackson. Soon after, he began an association with bassist Ray Brown that lasted for years. He also went on to perform with such jazz legends as Dizzy Gillespie, Clark Terry and Sonny Rollins. Over the years, he’s also collaborated with Jamaican guitarist Ernest Ranglin. Alexander continues to tour extensively.
On his 1999 Telarc debut, Stir It Up: The Music of Bob Marley (CD-83469), Alexander gave the jazz treatment to such well-known Marley compositions as "I Shot The Sheriff," "No Woman No Cry," "Is This Love?" and "Jammin’." This groundbreaking project also featured special guest Steve Turre on trombone and conch shell, and Sly Dunbar’s remixed version of "Could You Be Loved." (concordmusicgroup. com)
