100% Dynamite! Ska, Soul, Rocksteady and Funk in Jamaica

Description

Twenty years after its initial release, Soul Jazz Records has remastered *100% Dynamite! Ska, Soul, Rocksteady & Funk in Jamaica*. Since its release, the nineteen-track compilation has become a must-have for understanding the influence of American jazz, funk, and soul on Jamaican reggae. From the Jamaican funk of Jackie Mittoo and The Upsetters to the cream of Jamaican jazzmen like Tommy McCook and Cedric Brooks, and reggae versions of soul classics including Marlena Shaw's "Woman Of The Ghetto" and Aretha Franklin's "Rocksteady," the album invites us to (re)discover Jamaican music, inspired by American styles but also creating its own musical genres such as ska, rocksteady, and dub.
