A Skatalites charger and a jolt of vintage Ethiopian ska rumpus.

Head-to-head Bunny-Lee-supervised knees-up-mother-browns.

Two jazz burners.
A shuffling, r&b version of a Lerner & Loewe tune from Brigadoon, by way of Nat King Cole.
Plus an instrumental one-away featuring Baba Brooks, Roland Alphonso and Lester Sterling. One of the reed players puts his foot in it, with a squawk, but who cares. Guess that’s why it’s previously unreleased and such a precious release now.

Outstanding roots from 1979, produced by Prince Hammer. Tough dub. too.

The great roots singer totally bossing this killer piece of late-eighties digi Lovers.
Like the Singing Melody excursion on the same stone-classic I Won’t Give Up rhythm, this is previously unreleased.

The complete Columbia solo studio recordings, 1962-1968.

Monked standards, with Pettiford and Blakey.

Apt title — this is sparkling, angular music, with Roach and Rollins on top form throughout.

With Charlie Rouse (tenor sax), Larry Gales (bass), Ben Riley (drums). And Jon Hendricks with a great vocal version of In Walked Bud.
