About this album
We've Only Just Begun is a polished 1972 jazz set that shows Monty Alexander balancing soulful swing with cool, lyrical finesse. Leading his trio, the Jamaican pianist brings buoyant touch, strong melodic instinct and an easy sense of motion to a programme that moves between standards and contemporary material. The title track and pieces like 'Summer Of '42 Theme' and 'Love Story Theme' suit Alexander's gift for turning familiar tunes into bright, conversational jazz. Rooted in soul-jazz and cool jazz, the album underlines why he became one of the most respected pianists of his generation.
