Jesse-Lee Jackson & Orquesta Zion - Love Him /// Rudy Must Die 7"
SKU: ELP010
Description:
From Ponce (Puerto Rico) to Arkansas heart, from Little Rock to
Port Antonio and Kingston (Jamaica). Gospel? Early Reggae? 60’s?
Rocksteady? During the day, appreciated organist in different
churches. In the night, black music jam sessions at Little Rock and
Memphis clubs.
1973: the iconic JesusChrist Superstar film premieres, milestone
and inspiration for Jesse-Lee. Meses, after that he travelled to
Port Antonio (Jamaica). While visiting Kingston, Jesse-Lee met
Bunny Lee, Clancy Eccles, Harry J and Joe Gibbs and was invited to
record some jams at their studios. On the way back home comes
tragedy: his plane crashes near the Florida coast. All crew and
passengers died instantly. His recordings were lost, forgotten...
until today
Jesse-Lee Jackson's well-deserved return comes from the hand of El
Paso Records, fantastically accompanied by the great Orquesta Zion.
However, there are those who say that this whole story is just
another of Albert 'Lapelldeldiable' Beneït's many delusions, The
Upshitters producer and his obsession for Skinhead Reggae and dirty
Rocksteady. In any case, all this has culminated in the appearance
of several studio recordings with Jesse-Lee Jackson’s rescued
Hammond and Farfisa organ lines.
And.. who is Orquesta Zion? Easy, the musicians who have helped
revive the forgotten organ of the great Jesse-Lee Jackson: Marta
Trujillo (vocals), Ramón Vagué (bass), Albert Beneït (drums and
percussion), Marc Serrats (guitar), Cantoná Gospel Choir (chorus),
Lee Perro (producer 2021) and Esteban Descalzo (master engineer
2021).
Don’t miss their first 7" on El Paso Records: two songs on the way
between Rocksteady and Early Reggae fancy wrapped.
