MONTY ALEXANDER - THE GOOD LIFE MONTY ALEXANDER PLAYS THE SONGS OF TONY BENNETT

MONTY ALEXANDER PIANO - LORIN COHEN BASS - GEORGE FLUDAS DRUMS

"Alexander's playing is kaleidoscopic, energetic, musically knowing; it delights the mind as well as the senses." - New York Post

"The Good Life" is the beautiful result of Monty Alexander's original take on classic pieces from Tony Bennett's extensive catalogue. It's Monty's infectious, rhythmic style containing a formidable technique that serves him unerringly without drawing undue attention away from the joyous, soulful, reverent and songful improvisations that spring from head and heart-informed fingers. This super audio CD was recorded in multi-channel surround sound using Chesky's state of the art minimalist miking techniques and the world's finest custom-made electronics to assure the purest, most natural sounding recording available.
