Pianist Monty Alexander's "Ivory And Steel" group combines together bop-based
jazz with Jamaican calypsoes and West Indian rhythms. On this quite enjoyable
set, Alexander utilizes both Othello and Len "Boogsie" Sharpe on steel drums,
either Marshall Wood or Bernard Montgomery on bass, drummer Marvin "Smitty"
Smith and the hand drums of Robert Thomas Jr. Alexander contributed four of the
rhythmic originals which are joined by some Jamaican folk songs (including "Sly
Mangoose"), Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" and a couple of obscurities. The
accessible results are often memorable.
