The Skatalites - Essential Artist Collection DOUBLE LP
SKU: TJDLP606
Description:
During the early 1960's, the sound of ska exploded upon Jamaica's
musical landscape, with the driving dynamic sound championed by
arguably the greatest ensemble of musicians ever to have performed
and recorded on the island. Fronted by legendary saxophonist Tommy
McCook, The Skatalites also comprised a veritable who's who of
Kingston-based performers, their number including trombonist Don
Drummond, tenor saxman Roland Alphonso, drumming supremo Lloyd
Knibb and keyboard prodigy Jackie Mittoo. Following their creation
in the summer of '64, this powerhouse instrumental combo dominated
the island's music industry for 18 glorious months, the very best
of their work produced by famed Treasure Isle Records boss, Arthur
'Duke' Reid.
