Wonderful! One of the best jazz pianist - Monty Alexander - with the Harlem Kingston Express. What more can one ask for!

Musicians : • Monty Alexander - Piano • Hassan Shakur - Bass (acoustic) • Andy Bassford - Guitar • Joshua Thomas - Bass (electric) & singer • Karl Wright - Drums • Obed Calvaire - Drums

Definitely one of the best!

As always Mighty Monty you never fail to give value for the music,jah bless.

Just had the pleasure of meeting Mr Monty Alexander on a flight from Tokyo to Newark today on my United Airlines flight.(Crew member) What a nice guy. A real pleasure to talk too. And a real gentleman. It was interesting too look up and read his bio when i got home and listening to this track as I type. He certainly has had and continues to have a great life. I hope to see him perform live in the NYC area in the near future.

His 80th birthday celebration this week at Birdland NYC! 😁

Thanks Monty. That left hand remains as powerful and rhythmic as ever. Keep playing! Happy that I can always find you on KZread.

Incredible, with what ease the musicians present the audience the fruits of their labor...so beautiful...indescribable...in thought, I take off my hat....

That's his Jamaican spirit that is fun. Most Caribbean people have a lively, fun, spirit.

One of our best, I have been a fan for over 30years

I wish I had caught onto Monty years ago. I have seen him several times in the last couple of years, and he never disappoints!

I've been following Monty since his Love and Sunshine LP back in the 70's but this clip has a special meaning for me. 1:07:45 "I don't know anymore songs" and he plays Dr. Billy Taylor's I wish I knew How It Felt To Be Free. I heard this when I was 8 years old performed by Dr. Taylor and knew then, I wanted to play piano like that. Well X number of years, I'm still at it. Thank you for the post.

I wish KZread had a rule that in order to post a video like this, you need to accurately identify all the musicians/instruments.

Monty is an excellent, fine pianist. I saw him in concert in Miami. 👍✌

My headache just went away.

Una noche en piano excelente presentacion musical de Monty Alexander 2016

Maravilhoso !

My icon is Monty Alexander and Thelonius Monk.

Caribbean spirit 👍🏽😎

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great concert, but one of the piano mics has a loose connection by the sound of it - there's a fluttering noise that gets very pronounced towards the end.

Does anybody have a songlist for this incredibly fun set??? Mainly Im desperately in search of the tune Monty plays at about 19 minutes in Its very different from anything else he played that night it has a couple themes that are positively infectious so much seek its been running through my head for weeks ???

That track is called "Love Notes"

He told me : don't play, have fun

Terrific! Very much like Erroll Garner

Kg, He's the good!

Please - Aside from Monty, who are the personnel in this amazing band?

Who's that on bass guitar?

Старик разговаривает роялем. Очень крут!

Bass Drum mix is awful 😢
