Artist Background

Monty Alexander stands as one of the pioneers of early Jamaican popular music. As a teenager in the late 1950s, he played in Jamaica’s first recording studios and participated in the foundational sessions that led to the birth of ska music—a genre that later evolved into reggae in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jamaican music and jazz are central to Alexander’s artistic identity, shaping his expressive and genre-crossing approach.

After moving to the United States with his family, Alexander quickly became part of the jazz elite, collaborating with legendary musicians such as Duke Ellington, Ray Brown, Milt Jackson, Wes Montgomery, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, and Sonny Rollins. His ability to bridge Jamaican musical heritage and American jazz traditions continues to inspire audiences worldwide.
