June 6, 2024 will be the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings. On this day, Grammy-nominated pianist Monty Alexander will also be 80 years old. A highly symbolic historical concordance, which the great musician naturally takes up, as the name he was given is a tribute to General Montgomery, the famous liberation hero.
The recordings, most of which were made in October 2023 at Studio Sextan, capture the quintessence of two long sessions. We hear an Alexander who is more introspective than usual and sure of the time he needs to hit the right note, the note that can only be hit with a sense of confidence.
He has found partners in the brilliant young Luke Sellick and Jason Brown, his current Rhythm section, he has found partners who can keep up with his harmonic and harmonic and rhythmic digressions, always laced with the intoxicating beat of reggae and the infectious swing of swing.
