An album released in 1979 by Monty Alexander, a jazz pianist representing the reggae powerhouse Jamaica. This work was recorded at Polydor KK Studio in Tokyo the same year, featuring a trio with Andrew Simpkins (bass) and Frank Gant (drums). The album includes standout tracks such as A1, widely known through the Count Basie Orchestra's performance and covered by numerous musicians, as well as A2, the main theme from a 1960 musical comedy. Other highlights include B2, which opened his 1972 masterpiece Here Comes The Sun released on MPS. This exceptional album showcases Alexander's signature light, bouncy, and bright piano performances.
