Love the way Ernest and Monty straddled Jazz and Reggae so naturally.

Absolutely, I’ve seen Robbie many times but I would have liked to see that live.

I just thought I’d share this version of Poor man style , and at 5.11 it’s barrington Levy ,which he released around 1982,  he’s always been top of my list for vocals, such a cool tune and a really nice Bassline to play.

I posted this on the 'now listening' thread... but I'm enjoying it so much that I thought I had to post it here too

Not sure if I should post this or not, but I would really like your comments. To me, it's one thing to have respect for the music (and play it that way), but another thing entirely adopt a religion that you have no cultural connection to. This might be well-done, but strikes me as just another cultural appropriation.

 

Probably a new thread in off topic rather than derailing this one, but here's a take by a Jamaican Rasta: http://www.jamaicanrastafarianlove.com/becoming-a-rasta-can-a-white-person-be-rastafarian/

And following on from that, here's an interesting earlier (1967) version of Dawn Penn's 1994 hit!

 

Loving that version ☝️

The very cool original of a much bigger hit.

 

Wow I can remember first hearing this  at a family party when I was about 13 , great tune and I believe it was sly and Robbie on drum and bass 🙂

Just added this to my playlist, Sweet Bassline Raslee 👍

Bb minor seems to ring a bell, definitely good fun to jam around with. Vibronics did a more UK roots heavy dub version 😊

Any thoughts on Scientist?

I downloaded a ton of reggae/dub reggae in order to find more artists I liked, having played it randomly on an iPod I found myself digging every track by Scientist, he’s just consistently excellent.

He’s an amazing recording engineer, I remember him well mainly from the 80s , I was involved in dub sound systems and many of his tunes were used then , usually very heavy basslines

Thanks Bolo, That album sleeve reminded me of this tune by the roots radics, a classic bassline that’s been used on many a recording

‘Truth & Rights’ - great riddim 😊
 

Here’s a mess around me and my reggae friends did on the Minstrels riddim back in 2010 not the best but our good mate had fun with his camera, plus the venue is the drummers own practice place we’ve used since 2007 - every jam feels like a gig 😂
