Jamaica Jazz 1931-1962

Description

Les best Jamaican musicians have made a substantial and masterful contribution to jazz. Their belated recognition reveals sophisticated styles, imbued with real originality. The cream of the rare and little-known founding recordings of Jamaican jazz is finally brought together and commented on by Bruno Blum in a 32-page booklet.
It includes strong personalities such as Wilton Gaynair, Cecil Lloyd, Billy Cooke, the unusual guitar of Ernest Ranglin, Count Ossie's drum orchestra, the precursor of afro-jazz, and the legendary Joe Harriott, Roland Alphonso, Tommy McCook, Don Drummond and Rico Rodriguez. The future creators of ska and reggae infuse here a surprising freshness into swing, mento, blues, hard bop and soul jazz.
