More_Info

n 1999, Jamaican born jazz pianist Monty Alexander made his Telarc debut with the release of Stir It Up, a tribute to the music of reggae icon Bob Marley. Since then, Alexander has assembled a diverse body of work on Telarc, with recordings ranging from straightahead jazz to the American songbook to world music. Seven years after Stir It Up, Alexander digs deeper into the music and mythos of Bob Marley with Concrete Jungle, a further exploration of Marley’s legacy.
Recorded in the late summer of 2005 at Marley’s own Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, and embellished by a crew of highly talented session players from the U.S. and Jamaica, Concrete Jungle is a set of twelve compositions penned by Marley and reinterpreted via Alexander’s jazz piano-oriented arrangements. The resulting union of musical sensibilities captures the passion and freewheeling creative spirit that have made Marley a universally recognized icon a quarter century after his death not just within the reggae nation but throughout the world.
At the forefront is Alexander’s rich and evocative piano work, accompanied by guitarist Wendel Ferraro (aka Junior Jazz), bassist Hassan Shakur and drummer Herlin Riley. Further seasoning the mix are vocalist Luciano (a Jamaican superstar and an heir to the Marley legacy), trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis, reggae drummer Rolando Wilson, electric bassist Glenroy Browne, the Mento Men (Panchago Christian on guitar/vocals, Ural Gordon on rhumba box/vocals, Vincent Hines on banjo/vocals), and several other musicians who played with the great Bob Marley.
