Monty Alexander Concert Tickets
Escape into the jazz-blues genre with Monty Alexander tickets from TicketSmarter. Monty Alexander discovered his love for the piano at a very young age; he began tinkering at the age of four, taking lessons by the time he was six, in 1950. Although he studied classical piano in his lessons when he became a teenager an element of rebellion kicked in and he found jazz. He started playing in clubs in his hometown of Kingston, Jamaica and even got to try his hand as a session musician on recordings with Clue J & His Blues Blasters when he and his family relocated to Miami, Florida in 1961.
Building up a reputation as a sterling musician and leader, he started his own dance orchestra, Monty and the Cyclones, and began touring the clubs. He moved to New York in 1962 and played the famous Jilly's jazz club, where he performed with Frank Sinatra. He traveled to California in '64 to record his debut studio album 'Alexander the Great' and began touring before returning to the studio to record with the likes of Milt Jackson and Ernest Ranglin.
Throughout the '70s Alexander continued to rack up collaborations with big names including Dizzy Gillespie, Frank Morgan, Benny Golson and Mary Stallings. Going back to his roots in the 1990s he formed a reggae band releasing several albums including 'Stir It Up', a collection of Bob Marley hits. He was also the subject of pianist Donald Vega's 2015 album 'With Respect to Monty' which saw Vega tackle some of Alexander's best known hits.
