Monty Alexander (1996) - Yard Movement





Jamaican-born Monty Alexander's Oscar Peterson-styled piano runs would seem an unlikely
fit for reggae rhythms, but with albums like Yard Movement, Alexander (along with guitarist
Ernest Ranglin, who is featured here) has played in huge role in defining what has to be
called (for lack of a better term) "jazz reggae." Essentially smooth bop laid in over
heavy reggae basslines, the tracks on Yard Movement (recorded live at the Montreux Jazz
Festival in Switzerland in 1995) work surprisingly well, grooving and shifting directions
with a deceptive ease, and Ranglin's bright, bubbly guitar is a continual delight throughout.


Tracklist:

01 Exodus
02 Regulator
03 Crying
04 Moonlight City
05 Love Notes
06 Momento
07 Strawberry Hill
08 Sneaky Steppers
