Monty Alexander Trio - Unknown Song - 11/06/1976 • World of Jazz

In this rare material, we see the Monty Alexander trio playing together with the famous dutch Metropole Orchestra. It was founded in 1945 shortly after WWII ended. After years of suffering, dutch people needed hope and... good times! In 1980 Rogier van Otterloo started as conductor. He was already famous, for writing the sound tracks of box office movies as ’Soldier of Orange’ and “Turks Fruit“ (Turkish Delight). Montgomery Bernard “Monty“ Alexander (born 6 June 1944) is a jazz pianist. His playing has a Caribbean influence and bright swinging feeling, with a strong vocabulary of bebop jazz and blues rooted melodies. He was a regular guest at the North Sea Jazz Festival. In this footage that we found in the archives, he performs in the dutch tv-show “Music all In“. Watch more World of Jazz videos ► Join us.
