He honed his craft over the years at both intimate jazz clubs and legendary jazz festivals like Montreux. He is also a well-known mentor of high school and college jazz musicians, fiting master classes into his relentless touring schedule. As Monty himself has said, he tries to “build up the heat and kick up a storm” in his playing. Come join me for two joyful hours of hard swing, American songbook, calypso beats, and rhythm and blues.
