| Monty Alexander Trio - This Thursday-Sunday - Dimitriou's Jazz Alley  Widely considered to be among the greatest trios in jazz (ever!), Monty Alexander (piano), John Clayton (bass), and Jeff Hamilton (drums) have delivered the most tastefully elegant, swinging, and soul-stirring jazz for 40 years, album after album, festival after festival, Grammy after Grammy . Playing together...and with other groups...these three dynamos have delighted audiences for many years. Together, they deftly maneuver among swinging old favorites, creative new delights, Jamaican-inflected hymns & marches, and gorgeous ballads. Monty, John and Jeff make all their deliveries by First Class! For a special treat, focus on the way these three pros communicate with one another while playing. This is how jazz is done!This year, Monty Alexander Trio made another triumphant appearance at the Montreux Jazz Festival! In July of 1976, the Monty Alexander Trio recorded "Montreux Alexander", live at the Montreux Jazz Festival. It's been magic ever since. Come see why this Thursday through Sunday (Aug. 4-7) at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley! The original classic MPS "Montreux Alexander '76" album was recorded 'live' at the Montreux Jazz Festival on July 10, 1976.
