In the words of Soul Jazz themselves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"As Soul Jazz Records enter into the mighty vaults of Studio One, the most respected label in reggae history, we present you with this showcase of Jackie Mittoo, one of the defining figureheads of reggae music !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom forming The Skatalites, at age 15, alongside Don Drummond, Roland Alphonso, Tommy McCook and others, to his work as writer, arranger, producer at Studio One records during the sixties, writing and playing for artists such as Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe, Marcia Griffiths and The Heptones (to name a few), to his career as a solo artist as well as leader of bands such as The Soul Brothers, Soul Vendors and The Sound Dimension, Jackie Mittoo is at the heart of reggae music. He was one of the instigators of Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae. In the seventies, DJ music and Dancehall were based upon classic rhythms of the sixties, many using the instrumental tracks that Jackie Mittoo created at Studio One at this time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis compilation features the work of Jackie Mittoo at Studio One. It features music recorded as a solo artist (as opposed to the numerous singers that he accompanied). Most of these are taken from his recordings in the mid sixties where he was recording on an almost daily basis at Studio One's Brentford Road studios developing the funky reggae sound that was his trademark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSoul Jazz Records are releasing this LP as the first of a series of Reggae artists to be covered following the success of the 100% Dynamite releases. Jackie Mittoo is as much an icon of Reggae as he is to fans of Funk music. He is without doubt the funkiest keyboard player ever to come out of Jamaica !\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jackie Mittoo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42244274028768,"sku":"US LP8","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/5988\/9376\/products\/The-Keyboard-King-At-Studio-One.jpg?v=1640602926"},{"product_id":"south-bronx-story","title":"A South Bronx Story (2LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA1.

An important document of a very specific early 80's NYC sound, this compilation made available a goldmine of impossibly rare punk\/funk classics which comfortably bridged any gaps between hip hop, disco and punk and helped pave the way for the nascent house scene . Words from the label:\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\"Moody\", \"UFO\", \"You're No Good\". ESG are one of the most important bands in dance music. Ever! Coming from New York at the beginning of the 1980's ESG found themselves at the meeting point of three revolutions in music - House, Hip-Hop and Punk. Combining all three elements with their associations with Larry Levan and The Paradise Garage, Factory Records in England and sampled by everyone from Public Enemy to Q-Tip. This compilation covers a period from 1980 to the early 1990's. Essential! Which group has records in the top 50 all time classics of New York s Paradise Garage, The Gallery, The Warehouse, The Music Box and The Roxy ? Which group has been sampled by Public Enemy, Big Daddy Kane, 3rd Bass, LL Cool J, Marley Marl and Doug E. Fresh? Which group has played with The Clash, A Certain Ratio, Public Image, Liquid Liquid and Gang of Four? Which group played the opening night of Manchester's Hacienda and the closing night of New York's Paradise Garage with Larry Levan? ESG! Soul Jazz Records are releasing this retrospective of ESG. The album features all their classic tracks along side some rare recordings. The story of ESG is one that gives them a place in three different musical histories - House music, Hip-Hop and Punk. A unique position that few other bands can claim. Their first single contained the all-time dancefloor classics Moody and UFO which placed them at the root of House and Hip-Hop respectively. Their first record was produced by legendary producer Martin Hannett and released on Factory Records, reflecting the beginning of a point in time where punk groups in England such as New Order and A Certain Ratio were beginning to become interested in Black American dance music. ESG are based around a group of sisters, Renee, Deborah, Valerie and Marie. The sparse raw funk sound that they created is unique and their music , reputation and associations has made them one of the cult bands of all time and this release intends to re-present them giving them their proper place in history. ESG were involved with 99 Records in the US (as were Liquid Liquid). Owned by ESG s unofficial manager\/producer Ed Bahlman, 99 Records spearheaded a new wave in US punk\/ dance groups that became known as the No Wave. ESG (and 99 Records) also lost out in many similar cases - ESG s sparse minimal bass and drum sound made them one of the most sampled artists around (in 1993 they wrote a track Sample Credits Don t Pay our Bills ). ESG were immersed in both the New York dance club scene and in the meeting of punk and dance culture. They played all the New York dance clubs such as Paradise Garage, Xenon, Danceteria as well as playing with many punk groups.. (They once played with The Clash and Grandmaster Flash on the same bill!).\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBOTH RECORDS ARE GRADED VG+ AND PLAY WELL.
