JamaicanVocalGroupAction #3
(Kingstonians - Singer Man)
LISTEN
Going back to what I wrote on day one of the theme about the sweet sounds of Jamaica being inspirational and lifting my sometimes troubled Soul. This cut produced by one of my favourite producers and foundation Jamaican musicologists Derrick ‘One Stop’ Harriott ranks high for themusicologist. Quality piece of late Sixties Reggae that many a young suedehead of all colours and flavours has and does skank to.

musicology #284
twolegendsclash #7
(The Haitian Orchestra - Meringue D’Amour)
Day seven of the twolegends…two more uptempo cuts and then it’s downtempo until Saturday. Today’s cut features Sidney Bechet blowing Soprano, (the instrument he single handedly introduced to modern music), as well as piano legend Willie ‘ The Lion ‘ Smith keeping time, Olin Alderhold plucking bass, Leo Warney on the drums and Kenneth Roane on the trumpet. Recorded in New York on November 22nd 1939. Maybe not as technical or improvisational as many of the other Bechet recordings but, for me, one of the most infectious…I can’t get enough of this one. BIG tune down themusicologist way.
