HARLEM KINGSTON EXPRESS
November 5 - One Night Only!
South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center
Still burning from a sensational summer concert at the Newport Jazz Festival and travels West, Monty Alexander comes to the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center with his Harlem Kingston Express for a special one-off only concert on Saturday, November 5! Not to be missed!
Monty moved to Miami from Jamaica in 1961! He's since traveled the globe with his rhythms and good vibes. Alexander's two Motema Music Harlem-Kingston Express releases got rave reviews from the press. The New York Times described him as "an effervescent pianist and one of Jamaica's proudest musical exports." The Wall Street Journal has by turns called him "maybe the first-and certainly the most successful-musician to combine Jamaican music with North American jazz" and said that, "Alexander's blend of jazz and reggae makes for an outrageously good time."...
