In every jazz fan, there’s a little buffalo soldier; in Monty Alexander, there’s more than just a little. That’s why the Kingston, Jamaica born-and-raised jazz pianist has married the two sides of his musical soul on his latest album Wareika Hill, a reimagining of Thelonious Monk tunes through the lens of the music we most associate with Jamaica: Reggae.The result is a sound Alexander has dubbed ‘Rastamonk Vibrations.’ It swings, it grooves, and it may leave you searching for late-night snacks.
