He seasoned the virtuosity of an Oscar Peterson, with whom he is often compared, with a dash of spicy Caribbean soul. This 1976 live recording at the Montreux Jazz Festival rates as one of the classic piano trio jazz albums. It is Monty’s first recording with what is generally accepted as his best working trio: bassist John Clayton and drummer Jeff Hamilton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eAhmad Jamal’s ‘Nite Mist Blues’ runs the gamut from barrelhouse to swinging modern, while the pop tune ‘Feelings’ takes on a languid soulful demeanor with a hint of Latin. Ellington’s ‘Satin Doll’ begins with a bit of Boogie before expostulating the theme and sampling a variety of lustrous textures. Bass and piano shine on Nat Adderley’s funky ‘Work Song’, and ‘Drown in My Own Tears’ overflows with soulful gospel before segueing into a theatrical ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic’, complete with military drum rolls, funky marches, and swinging virtuoso jazz. After four and a half decades, the magic of a night in Montreux is still within reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusicians:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMonty Alexander – piano\u003cbr\u003eJohn Clayton – bass\u003cbr\u003eJeff Hamilton – drums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eLabel: MPS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e01 Nite Mist Blues\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e02 Feelings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e03 Satin Doll\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e04 Work Song\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e05 Drown In My Own Tears\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e06 Battle Hymn Of The Republic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Details \u0026amp; Product Configurations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Master Product Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e1\/4” - 2 Track RTM LPR90 - 15IPS - 38cm\/sec - CCIR - 320 nWb\/m - 1 Metal Reel(s) - Special Archive Box(es) - Horch House Deluxe Packaging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStudio Master Product Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e1\/4” - 2 Track RTM SM900 - 15IPS - 38cm\/sec - CCIR - 510 nWb\/m - 2 Precision Metal Reel(s) - Special Archive Box(es) - Horch House Deluxe Packaging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClaus Müller\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e from audiotapereview.com rated this tape 5\/5 in the category Music and 5\/5 in the category Sound.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor the full review, visit \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audiotapereview.com\/0292022montymontreux\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cu\u003ehttps:\/\/www.audiotapereview.com\/0292022montymontreux\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Horch House","offers":[{"title":"Standard Master","offer_id":55890143150415,"sku":"000102064","price":403.36,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Studio Master","offer_id":55890143183183,"sku":"000103064","price":500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/5935\/3679\/files\/Monty_Alexander_Live_At_Montreux_Cover.jpg?v=1757322728","url":"https:\/\/www.horchhouse.com\/en-cn\/products\/the-monty-alexander-trio-live-at-the-montreux-festival","provider":"Revox | Horch House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
