It's Monty at his best, with a great band and incredibly high-energy performance! Now available as a 200-gram 45 RPM double LP set!Recorded live at Bubba's Jazz Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on August 6, 1982.'The more of these albums the 2xHD label uncovers, remasters and releases, the more you appreciate the work it's doing in letting us rediscover superb performances. These live recordings, taken from pianist Monty Alexander's own collection and made in August 1982 at a Florida 'Jazz Restaurant', were captured by engineer Mack Emerman, founder of Criteria Studios - home of many a big-selling recording. Here we find a tight quartet featuring bassist Paul Berner, Duffy Jackson on drums and extra percussion from Robert Thomas, Jr. Performing truly spirited, generous 92 minutes of an exceptionally well-recorded and finely remastered performance. You really don't have to be a beard stroking Jazzer to enjoy this. An ear for a great recording of fine performances will do.' - 5/5 stars, Andre Everard, Hi-Fi News & ReviewMonty Alexander - Love You Madly200-gram 45 RPM double LP set2xHD mastering on Nagra equipment by Rene LaflammeLacquers cut all-analog at Bernie Grundman Mastering on tube cutting equipmentTracklist:Side AArthur's ThemeBlues For EdithSide BLove You MadlySamba de OrfeuSide CReggae LaterSKJSide DFungii Mama
