    “Alexander's playing is kaleidoscopic, energetic, musically knowing; it delights the mind as well as the senses.” - New York Post
“The Good Life” is the beautiful result of Monty Alexander's original take on classic pieces from Tony Bennett's extensive catalogue.   It's Monty's infectious, rhythmic style containing a formidable technique that serves him unerringly without drawing undue attention away from the joyous, soulful, reverent and songful improvisations that spring from head and heart-informed fingers.   This super audio CD was recorded in multi-channel surround sound using Chesky's state of the art minimalist miking techniques and the world's finest custom-made electronics to assure the purest, most natural sounding recording available.

This disc contains three separate versions of the same musical program:
• Direct Stream Digital™ Multi-Channel Suround Sound

• CD Standard Stereo
