Reviews :
"Here we find a tight quartet featuring bassist Paul Berner, Duffy Jackson on drums and extra percussion from Robert Thomas, Jr. Performing truly spirited, generous 92 minutes of an exceptionally well-recorded and finely remastered performance. You really don't have to be a beard stroking Jazzer to enjoy this. An ear for a great recording of fine performances will do." - Andre Everard, Hi-Fi News & Review, 5/5
"Love You Madly by Monty Alexander and his men is such an extraordinary album that reflects the joy of playing, musicality, ability, but also the mutual engagement and takes you from A to Z. Live at Bubba's is an absolute recommendation!" - Christian Hunziker, AV Guide, 5/5
"Culled from Monty Alexander's own collection, the album reveals the pianist at the peak of his powers. He delves into a wide-ranging set that dips into Jazz and Brazilian standards, Blues, and Reggae. Each expertly evinced by the pianist and his group." -JAZZIZ
