Monty Alexander and the Cyclones' early recordings
A valuable single that documents the origins of this Jamaican pianist.
"Summertime" offers a unique interpretation of Gershwin's classic, with a Caribbean flair. The performance demonstrates Alexander's talent, already blossoming at a young age, and hints at his future success. The theme that runs through his career, the fusion of Jamaican musical tradition with jazz, is already apparent.
