A masterful Soul Jazz Records retrospective honoring the foundational genius of the Skatalites founder and prolific Studio One musical director. The collection highlights his incredibly laid-back, deeply funky Hammond organ instrumentals that essentially bridged the gap between ska, rocksteady, and modern reggae. It cements his legacy as one of the most vitally important architects of the classic Jamaican sound.
