Monty Alexander Discusses the Influence of Oscar Peterson

[@JamieLeeon]

i'd love to listen to this Version of Sweet Georgia Brown, Monty's got so many nice takes on that tune..wheres the full video?

Monty got chubby here, didn't he? Monty can play but his theories about African and Caribbean backgrounds and their effect on swinging are baloney IMO. If he stayed in Jamaica and never came to US he could have never been the jazz player he has become. Ray Brown and Milt Jackson largely made him real jazzman, rather than gifted amateur from Jamaica.

Thanks for the upload. Great to listen to.

Monty is a good even sublime player but he is not a good speaker!!
