Various - Coxsone's Music (part B) DOUBLE LP
SKU: SJRLP323B
Description:
Coxsone's Music is a stunning collection on two separate double LP
featuring over two and half hours of early Jamaican proto-ska,
rhythm and blues, jazz, rastafari and gospel music - charting the
earliest recordings produced by Clement Dodd, in the years before
he launched the mighty Studio One Records, brought together here
for the first time ever.
Clement Dodd's Sir Coxsone The Downbeat Soundsystem ruled
Kingston's dancehalls during this era and these recordings strongly
reflect the influences of American rhythm and blues and jump jazz
on Jamaican music fans. By the time the new record company formed
in Brentford Road, Kingston in 1963, the young Clement 'Sir
Coxsone' Dodd had already managed to release an incredible wealth
of recordings by the talented musicians and artists on the island
of Jamaica and this collection reflects just that:
Featuring Don Drummond, Roland Alphonso, Derrick Harriott, Owen
Gray, Clancy Eccles, Count Ossie, Monty Alexander, The Blues
Busters, Ernest Ranglin, Rico Rodriguez and many, many more all
captured here in their formative early years.
Before Studio One, Clement Dodd released this music on a variety of
his early record labels such as Worldisc, All Stars, Coxsone, D
Darling (named after Coxsone's mother, who received a production
credit on the label), Muzik City (named after Dodd's record store
on East Queen's Street), Port O Jam, Supreme and Sensational.
Sleevenotes to this collection are by Studio One authority Rob
Chapman, author of the Never Grow Old and Downbeat Special books
cataloguing the many recordings of the label.
