Tommy McCook - Dubbing With Horns LP
SKU: JRLP043
Description:
Tommy McCook founding member of the legendary group The Skatalites
and the master session musician has left his mark over all the
different styles of Jamaican
music. The big band sound that lead to the beginning of Ska, to the
forefront of Rocksteady and throughout the various stages that
Reggae music would mutate itself into. All carrying Tommy
McCook's distinctive stamp that always added a flavour to the
songs style.
The 1970's sound that reggae mutated to would be heavier in feel
lead by Bass and Drums with the organ pushed to the
forefront.But many of the up and coming Producers like Bunny
Lee (The Aggrovators Band), Joe Gibbs (The Professionals Band)
and Studio's like the Hookim brothers Channel 1 set up had the
foresight to keep using the musicianship of Tommy McCook and
his arrangement skills to enhance this new sound.
Its from this rich period that we have compiled a selection of some
of Mr McCook's greatest cuts that featured him blowing over
some great tracks, that stripped of their vocals sees Tommy
replace that with some fantastic lead lines. We hope you agree that
Tommy's Dubbing with Horns makes a marvellous almost Jazz
styled album rich in texture, but in fine Jamaican style.
