Combining soulful, hard-bopping jazz with Jamaican calypsos and West Indian grooves, Jamaica-born pianist MONTY ALEXANDER forged a highly original and contagiously enjoyable style with his Concord "Ivory & Steel" band recordings. With Island Grooves two of his best - Ivory & Steel and Jamboree - are presented in one specially priced package. Featuring Alexander's Jamaica-fueled jazz piano pyrotechnics, the distinctively West Indian sound of the steel drums, and an eclectic collection of songs - ranging from calypso-infused jazz standards to Alexander originals to creative twists on traditional Jamaican songs - MONTY ALEXANDER's Island Grooves is a vibrant and colorful collection that is sure to appeal to fans of jazz, Latin jazz and world music.
