Various - Jazz in Jamaica - The Coolest Cats From The Alpha Boys School LP
SKU: HONEY025Description:
Compiled on this LP are rare gems produced between 1959 and 1962 by
Jamaican jazz heavyweights such as Tommy McCook, Don Drummond,
Ernest Rangling, Lennie Hibbert, Cecil Lloyd and others. This is
highly swinging music inspired by the black American tradition with
a unique and inevitable Caribbean flavour. All the featured
musicians emerged from the Alpha Boys School in Kingston, where
young boys from the poor neighborhoods could embrace an instrument.
Some of these kids became influential musicians in the history of
Jamaican jazz, ska and reggae.
