Jackie Mittoo, organ and piano maestro, was also one of the
founding members of Jamaica's top session band The Skatalites.
Musical arranger for Studio One he provided the backbone to so
many of Jamaica's finest tunes. The invention of Ska music and
the sounds that rode through the Rocksteady and Reggae period all
carry his stamp. Whether it be in his various incarnations,
the aforementioned Skatalites, The Soul Brothers, Soul Vendors
and the Sound Dimension or under his own name, his distinctive
organ and piano sound and musical arrangements have all played
a major part in Jamaica's musical history.
Jackie Mittoo emigrated in the late 60's to Canada, but travelled
to Jamaica and London to record with many of the big new
names, who were trying to redress Studio One's supremacy and
needed his magic touch. Such Producers as Bunny Lee used Jackie
Mittoo on many of his sessions, Sugar Minott among others were
always glad of his services.
This compilation captures some fine 1970's cuts that
feature Jackies numerous talents, showing his ability to
embellish tracks with a feel that few could better,
