The LargeUp Sessions (1/23) with Monty Alexander

Words by LargeUp Crew—

Tonight’s guest on the #LargeUpSessions with DJ Gravy, Jesse Serwer and Jah Banks is the great Monty Alexander. Jamaica’s most accomplished jazz pianist will stop by RadioLily.com to talk his upcoming album, Harlem Kingston Express 2, and his weeklong string of dates at the Blue Note in NYC, including Saturday and Sunday’s shows with Chronixx and Ernest Ranglin.

The multi-generational trio—Chronixx is 21, Ranglin is 82, and Monty’s somewhere in between—will be presenting a performance they’ve titled A History of Reggae and Jamaican Music.

Curious what that will entail? So are we. Tune in tomorrow night from 6 to 8pm EST on RadioLily.com to find out…
