Title: Hunt this one out
Product review: Another very good album from Monty Alexander, thats worth looking for.Its quite unusual in some as it features only Monty Alexander on Piano and John Clayton on Bass. So no Guitar or drums, and this gives a very distinctive sound.As soon as you hear the first track, which is a swinging version of "I let a Song Go Out of my Heart", you might have a sense that theres something familiar about the sound of the Piano (which is really wonderful). I'd had the CD for years before one day I was reading the back of the CD case and suddenly noticed that the album was produced by the late Georg Brunner Schwer, who produced all the classic Oscar Peterson albums in the late 60's and early 70's (such as "Tracks").The recordings were made in 1983, and overall this a fine album of Ellington tunes. The problem now is that it doesn't seem to available. I got my copy from a 2nd hand record shop back in the 80's, which isn't very encouraging but if by some chance you find a copy its worth grabbing!
