Sly & Robbie —
Rhythm Killers ... CD 
Island, 1987. Used ... $5.99
We love Sly & Robbie – really we do. And while they were responsible for many of the toughest rhythms ever laid to wax, they did cut their share of material that hits nice and hard, but may not be as sublime as their finest and fattest. While on paper this Bill Laswell produced session ... read more CD

Various —
High Note Mento Collection ... CD High Note/Doctor Bird (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy 2CD ... $16.99
An unusual collection of mento material from Jamaica – a later document of sounds that were initially the first on the path towards rocksteady and reggae! Back in the late 50s, Bermuda had calypso and Jamaica had mento – a style that was similar, but which had a slightly different ... read more CD

Tommy McCook —
Reggae In Jazz ... CD Pressure Sounds (UK), Mid 70s. Used ... $12.99
Masterful reggae instrumentals from the great Tommy McCook! Reggae In Jazz does indeed have some jazz-steeped solos augmenting the vibe quite nicely, but it's perhaps not the full on reggae/jazz hybrid the title suggests – which is a good thing, actually! The rhythms are strongly rooted in ... read more CD

Nat Birchall —
Tradition Disc In Dub – Nat Birchall Meets Al Breadwinner ... LP Ancient Archive Of Sound (UK), 2020. New Copy ... $34.99
A fantastic album in the new dub tradition that UK saxophonist Nat Birchall has been exploring – recorded modes that are very different than his spiritual jazz albums, but equally cool overall!
