WAREIKA HILL, RastaMonk Vibrations is out now!

Wareika Hill (Rasta-Monk Vibrations) (MACD Records)

is more than a homage; it’s a personal statement

about Alexander’s roots, and a reconsideration of

Monk’s music in the context of West Indian influences.

--JAZZIZ Magazine

“Maybe it was just my childhood memories connecting the two, but I was left with a deep impression that the world of monk and Rasta were one spirit. The way Rasta men would walk, talk and express themselves was a world within itself and so it was with Monk."

--Monty Alexander
