I know this upload is not reggae ,, yet this "LP" would have probably been on a few young blued eyed shelves ,,, since the post is showing many joints from around 1969 ,

what was on your shelf ? tighten up volume , maybe the odd blue beat , other reggae joints & probably this ,,, cheers

I didn’t know much about them so I had a little read up ,,

Whenever I see the name AMJ Collective I know I’m going to be in for something special, something different, something unique” David Rodigan

AMJ Collective is a group of musicians from the UK, Cuba and Colombia exploring reggae music in a refreshing way. Fired by the drum and bass duo of Andy Clarke and Mark Spence and produced by John Hollis, the band is fronted by the female trio of Oriana Melissa, Chanty and Maria del Mar. Their live show is a powerful, uplifting experience and currently features special guests Michel Padron, Camilo Menjura and Owen Shiers with many more participating in the studio sessions.

nice bass player great video ,, getting a great method & awareness on space & beat awesome ,  i would probably have to see more videos tho to find out if he goes into turning the notes into " blue notes " aka jazz

think he might be too young to remember Jerry ,, yet you never know ,,

i remember the band being formed & going into the studio in 78 ,, they flipped into doing disco pop in the 80s ,, tho yeah, after watching a great "pro reggae bassist" doing chops , thought i would highlight some features
