monty alexander, john clayton, and jeff hamilton, 1977, montreaux jazz festival.

story has it that monty walked on stage and no one really knew who it was. once he was on stage, it didn't take long for the audience to get into it, that's for sure.

great album!  one of the best i've ever heard.

this album and ray brown's live at loa should define piano trio swing.

thanks scot for turning me onto monty.
this album is probably one of my greatest influences as far as trio playing goes.  i wore out my record and have gone through a couple cds :)
