Born in Kingston (Jamaica), the pianist Monty Alexander moved with his family to Miami (Florida) in 1961, and from there he pursued a brilliant career that has led him to play with other great jazz stars such as Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Golson, Milt Jackson, Ernestine Anderson, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen or Mary Stallings, among others.

With an extensive discography of more than 75 albums and an impressive live show featuring jazz and blues, as well as his Jamaican roots with calypso and reggae, Monty Alexander is an American classic and a great master of the piano trio in jazz. Not anyone who has seen one of his concerts once will never forget it, as we know at Jazz San Javier, so we look forward to the third visit to the festival by this jazz giant.
