Combining soulful, hard-bopping jazz with Jamaican calypsos and West Indian grooves, Jamaica-born pianist MONTY ALEXANDER forged a highly original and contagiously enjoyable style with his Concord "Ivory & Steel" band recordings. With Island Grooves two of his best - Ivory & Steel and Jamboree - are presented in one specially priced package.
