The Monty Casper Project was created as a tribute to the instrumental hits of the 60s,70s & 80s. Ever since he started playing piano in 1966, artists such as Herb Alpert, Mason Williams, and others have always been favourites. It's been a labour of love for this ex-road warrior who was a member of a number of Top40 bands in the 80s. But, nine years after the project first saw the light of day, the debut CD "Soundbox" was released in 2008. As Monty says, "Better late than never but hey, it was a blast. The songs are a perfect instrumental backdrop whether your chillin' at home on your own or having an intimate gathering with friends."

 RadioIndy is pleased to present The Monty Casper Project with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Soundbox"
“Soundbox” is a great smooth jazz/instrumental pop album from The Monty Casper Project. British Columbia multi-instrumentalist Monty Casper plays all of the instruments on this album, showing his tremendous piano talent, as well as his crafty work on drums, guitar, and horns. The songs are all instrumental and inspired by classic pop instrumentals of the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s from the likes of Herb Alpert and George Benson. The songs themselves are all Monty Casper originals, though he draws from the aforementioned pop instrumentalists to give the songs a certain timelessness to them. “Soundbox” is well-produced, and the entire album sounds professional, the instrumentation clean and well-layered. “Marimba Coffee Break” has a solid arrangement with a rhythmic drum beat and acoustic guitar in the background and skillful marimba work at the forefront. “Random Thoughts” shows Casper’s prowess as a pianist and has a great timeless sound to it. “Searchlight” features the unique sound of the harpsichord and nice drum work. Overall, “Soundbox” is a solid effort that any fan of smooth jazz or ‘60s to ‘80s instrumental pop will surely enjoy. -Chris & the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team |
