SUMMARY:An Evening with Monty Alexander In Conversation with T.K. Blue
DESCRIPTION:AN EVENING WITH MONTY ALEXANDER \n\n\n\nJazz great Monty Alexander comes to Clement’s Place for an evening of conversation and listening with his friend jazz saxophonist T.K. Blue \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNearly sixty years after he moved to the United States from Kingston\, Jamaica\, his hometown\, Grammy©​ nominated pianist Monty Alexander is an American classic\, touring the world relentlessly with various projects\, delighting a global audience drawn to his vibrant personality and soulful message. A perennial favorite at Jazz festivals and venues worldwide and at the Montreux Jazz Festival where he has appeared 23 times since 1976\, his spirited conception is one informed by the timeless verities: endless melody-making\, effervescent grooves\, sophisticated voicings\, a romantic spirit\, and a consistent predisposition\, as Alexander accurately states\, “to build up the heat and kick up a storm.” In the course of any given performance\, Alexander applies those aesthetics to a repertoire spanning a broad range of jazz and Jamaican musical expressions—the American songbook and the blues\, gospel and bebop\, calypso and reggae. Documented on more than 75 recordings and cited as the fifth greatest jazz pianist ever in The Fifty Greatest Jazz Piano Players of All Time (Hal Leonard Publishing)\, the Jamaican government designated Alexander Commander in the Order of Distinction in 2000 and conferred on him the national honor of the Order of Jamaica in 2022 for “Sterling Contributions to the Promotions of Jamaican Music and the Jazz Genre Interpretations Globally”. In 2018 the University of The West Indies bestowed him with an honorary doctorate (DLitt) in recognition of his accomplishments. \n\n\n\nMonty’s latest album (released August 19\, 2022) is titled Love Notes and is his first recording featuring his vocals. The release of “Love Notes” will be accompanied by tour dates worldwide. \n\n\n\nAlso in the works is “The Monty Alexander Movie\,” a documentary on Monty’s life and music. Directed by Academy Award© winning cinematographer Jefferson Miller\, and veteran filmmaker Arthur Gorson\, the project is currently in production in Jamaica\, the U.S. and Europe. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister on Eventbrite\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n				Tumblr\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			More\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			Like this:Like Loading...
