For days if not weeks I've been playing with Linux and
trying to get that working.
Took a break from that and tuned in the Parlocha show.
I heard On Green Dolphin Street playing and heard the
sound of Monty Alexander without immediatley knowing the
artist.
Yes, it was that same Monty Alexander from the same period
of the album Here Comes The Sun. On this one he was still
playing in that style. It was like the piano was tuned in
a certain way that was identifiable because I picked up on
it immediately. MA has a lot of records out both as a solist
and backup musician to the greats.
And, not surprisingly, when Parlocha made the on-air announcement
he said that that album called "Monty Strikes Again" was never released on cd either.
He's in the top three of the jazz pianists who can play fast
and not 'let up' through the whole piece. Oscar Peterson
is another one. I'm still trying to think of a third.
Manualb, did you ever get that vinyl?
