Jackie Mittoo - Reggae's Keyboard King Jackie Mittoo: Interpretations & Improvisations
Reggae's Keyboard King Jackie Mittoo: Interpretations & Improvisations (VP) presents several top reggae and jazz keyboardists covering songs previously made famous by the dynamic keyboardist/organist Jackie Mittoo during his tenure either as a session player or the leader of two prime Jamaican groups, the Skatalites and the Soul Vendors. From Monty Alexander's flashy playing on "Evening Time" to the superb solos executed by Tyrone Downie on "Mission Impossible," Sidney Thorpe on "Hot Shot" and "Neville Hinds on "Hot Milk," here's slicing ska, lighter reggae and some numbers with a Memphis soul flavor updated by outstanding artists honoring a legendary figure with their own adaptations and versions of his best material.
