The Monty Alexander Trio - Montreux Alexander - The Monty Alexander Trio Live at the Montreux Festival (2016) [Hi-Res]

„Pianist Monty Alexander did some of his finest recordings for the MPS label. This live trio set with bassist John Clayton and drummer Jeff Hamilton (reissued) features Alexander playing his usual repertoire of the period with blues, standards ("Satin Doll," "Work Song" and "Battle Hymn of the Republic") and a version of "Feelings" that uplifts the song a bit (although not enough). His soulful approach to the generally familiar melodies makes them sound fresh and swinging.“ (Scott Yanow, AMG)
