Monty Alexander

Born Montgomery Bernard Alexander on June 6, 1944 in Kingston, Jamaica, Monty Alexander is a jazz pianist whose style is influenced by strong Caribbean and swing feeling. A musician of a great versatility, this piano virtuoso has covered wide range of musical genres in his career from jazz to reggae, playing with either small bands or an orchestra. "My goal is to uplift", says Alexander. “The piano, to me, is a vehicle for connecting to other human beings. I'm very open to all forms of music. I'm not a bebop musician, I'm not a calypso musician, I'm not a reggae musician.

Lost Summer Kitten

Even if the world can be a happy place and you just want to dance and drink and listen to Billie the Vision and the Dancers, some days you just feel so down.
Lost Summer Kitten was born late in December 2005, when 2/4 of our band left us for other missions.
Left behind were we, with our acoustic guitars, and our blue down feelings. So we did what you always do when that happens; you form a band with a really sad name, write some songs and release an EP. http://www.lostsummerkitten.se/
