JazzProfiles: Monty Alexander – “Love You Madly Live At Bubba’s”


In addition to Monty’s beyond-belief-brilliance, this track contains a marvelous example of the drummer as accompanist. Duffy Jackson just sets the groove and let’s the music happen. Monty can concentrate and do his thing because Duffy and bassist Paul Berner just lay it down and stay out of the way. With Robert Thomas’s discrete percussion adding color, here is a classic clinic in how to play the drums as a musical instrument and NOT throw up all over them.
