唱片公司 ： Telarc
演奏(唱)者 ： 蒙帝．亞歷山大三重奏
專輯解說：
鋼琴三重奏一直是爵士樂領域中相當特殊的一環, 從奧斯卡．彼得生、比爾．艾文斯, 或者更早的納京高三重奏, 分別代表簡單樂器配制下演奏豐富且綿密樂章的開拓先鋒。如今爵士三重奏的範籌更是廣闊浩瀚, 其中蒙帝．亞歷山大就是一例。從六○年代以來, 他就陸續錄製過三重奏唱片。但在珍惜羽毛的情形下, 未達巔峰狀態時, 絕不輕易演奏錄音。
這次蒙帝以蓋希文的『藍色狂想曲』和羅德利果的『阿蘭費茲協奏曲』主題, 分別奏出新的詮釋。新意不斷的演奏創意, 在兩首樂曲中不時湧現。另外納京高早年的代表作"Body & Soul"和"It’s Only A Paper Moon", 也在他的指間流露輕盈的筆觸。當然他個人的創作也特別選錄三首, 少不了的拉丁情趣與節奏變化, 讓人不自覺的沉醉於樂聲當中。

Review:
From jazz-influenced classical pieces to world music rhythms and American popular song, pianist Monty Alexander seems to cover all his musical interests on Impressions in Blue. Backed by the talented rhythm section of bassist Hassan J.J. Wiggins Shakur and drummer Mark Taylor, Alexander tackles such epic compositions as Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" and Rodrigo's "En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor." He also takes on Ellington's "Creole Love Call" and Mercer's "I'm an Old Cowhand" with much success. It is his original tunes, however, that hold the most revelation, with "Eleuthra," a breezy, Latin-style number influenced by the Bahamas, bringing to mind the iconic '60s sound of Michel Legrand. ~ Matt Collar, All Music Guide
