This is what they say about the latest CD "CONCRETE JUNGLE" (Telarc-CD 83635)

“…one of the best critically acclaimed passionate transformations of authentic Jazz recordings…This is indeed a compelling, musical experiences.” Black Diaspora

“Alexander once again expands expertly upon the tightly wound intensities of Marley's brand of rebel music.” World Music Central

“Concrete Jungle is worth the purchase.” Star Bulletin

“Rather than giving undue emphasis to his piano solos, Mr. Alexander knows how to step back and incorporate the right mix of other instruments, from the driving reggae bass to harmonica, percussion, saxophone and trumpet.” Anderson Independent

“This is a well-conceived project-a sound vision with excellent follow-through. Sound quality is superb with distinct instrumental separation for the well-trained ear…you can’t go wrong with ‘Concrete Jungle: The Music of Bob Marley.’” Jamaican Gleaner

“Running through 11 of Marley’s songs, plus one Alexander original, the band creates a remarkable melding of jazz and reggae…the jazz setting gives every one a new, fresh sound.” North County Times “Monty Alexander continues his double life on this excellent cd of Bob Marley's music… Alexander himself is in excellent form, carefully walking the tightrope that bridges jazz improvisation and the rhythmic riffs of reggae. His delicate intro work to "Babylon System" is a delight, as is his playful intro to "Chant Down Babylon," before it plunges into a funky grove. Any music that calls for peace, as Alexander evokes in the closing "Selam" deserves a good listen. Once again, jazz takes in another cousin.” All About Jazz – LA
