Years ago I knew a bass player named Al Bruno in Rochester NY. In between sets, I brought up Monty's music and Al talked about playing with Monty a few times. He said that of all the hundreds of musicians that he has played with over his long career, Monty was without a doubt the most unpretentious player he had ever met. I can tell by watching all of these Riddim videos that Al Bruno was absolutely right. I've never seen a musician of Monty's worldly caliber be so open and honest and down to earth. From one of Monty's biggest fans...thank you!!!

Thank you Monty. Your music moves me more than Oscar's. When I first heard it I couldn't get enough. And thank you for this very personal video. By the way, I met you once at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago. I asked you for a lesson. You looked me dead in the eye and said "just keep listening" with a smile on your face. And so I did! Keep playing man, and if its only with one hand.
I just discovered this Monty!Thank you so much!If you ever do another episode can Miss Caterina do Estate if you haven't already?It's one of my favourites.Ok one love to you both and be safe!

I hope there are more episodes! I look forward each week to hear your thoughts, which are always interesting, and see you play on your home piano.
Terrific!
