O’s Notes: My America is Monty’s tribute to music and musicians he loves, idolizes and benchmarks. The program is a little reggae, some blues, R&B and soul, all with the joy and spirit of Jamaica. Al Green’s “Love and Happiness”, “Mack the Knife”, “Honky Tonk”, “Sex Machine” and Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing”, all a la Alexander. The arrangements are unique and the effect is cool.
