{"product_id":"monty-alexander-here-comes-the-sun","title":"Monty Alexander - Here Comes The Sun","description":"\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThis 1971 recording signals the beginning of Jamaican pianist Monty Alexander’s fruitful relationship with MPS, lasting over a decade and encompassing some dozen albums. Originally touted as heir to Oscar Peterson’s crown, Alexander is famous for his virtuoso melding of jazz, the sounds of the Caribbean and blues. The classic Dave Brubeck Quartet’s bassist Eugene Wright, calypso percussionist Montego Joe, and ace drummer Duffy Jackson round out the quartet. \u003cem\u003eMontevideo \u003c\/em\u003ejumps off with percussive Latin two-beat verve and a witty piano filled with quotes. The ballad \u003cem\u003eWhere is Love\u003c\/em\u003e is a searching romantic serenade, and Monty transforms the Beatle’s \u003cem\u003eHere Comes The Sun\u003c\/em\u003e into blues-laced Latinesque with a taste of boogie. Monty takes the standard \u003cem\u003eLove Walked In\u003c\/em\u003e at a brisk pace as he demonstrates his considerable straight-ahead jazz chops, bop quotes and all. Check out the tasty walking bass and drum solos. The luscious calypso \u003cem\u003eBrown Skin Girl\u003c\/em\u003e is followed by Monty’s tender, wistful solo rendition of his \u003cem\u003eThe Dream Is Mine\u003c\/em\u003e. The group stretches out on Miles Davis’ iconic \u003cem\u003eSo What\u003c\/em\u003e, grounding the tune with a driving Latin-rock beat. They say variety is the spice of life and Monty Alexander and co. have seasoned this album to perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eLabel: MPS\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Revox Music","offers":[{"title":"Standard Master \/ CCIR","offer_id":56434997395782,"sku":"000102081","price":495.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Master \/ NAB","offer_id":57096981545286,"sku":"Neuanlegung","price":545.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Studio Master \/ CCIR","offer_id":56434997428550,"sku":"000103081","price":595.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/4411\/4246\/files\/Monty_Alexander_Here_Comes_The_Sun_Cover.jpg?v=1777031531","url":"https:\/\/revox.com\/products\/monty-alexander-here-comes-the-sun","provider":"revox.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
