Back by popular demand! For nearly forty years, the multi-cultural pianist and bandleader Monty Alexander has artfully blended the rhythms of his native Jamaica with the classic sounds of modern jazz. For two evenings, Monty returns to The Allen Room to lead us on an exciting journey from Harlem to Kingston, Jamaica. From Harry Belafonte hits to Bob Marley classics, it's all what Louis Jordan called "The New Calypso Bebop."
