Monty Alexander Trio 4th Anniversary Celebration! at Jazz Forum

About

Fifty-five years after he moved to the United States from Kingston, Jamaica, his home town, pianist
“I love Jamaica. I love America. I love them both together more than each one separately. I inhabit the rhythmic aspect of both things. I can’t explain why. I do it naturally and joyfully. I am confident and proud and privileged to say that I come from a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic thing. The slogan of Jamaica is like America’s ‘E Pluribus Unum,’ ‘out of many, one people.’”—Monty Alexander, 2014
