Jamaican Funk

"Forget about your only reggae cd Bob Marley "Legends" and give a listen to Jackie Mittoo. With a wicked organ and killer jazz beats, Jackie makes you feel like you just stepped out of the plane into a sunny day in Jamaica. This is a cd that you can throw in and blaze to for about 8 hours. It reminds you of the funky background music in Scooby Doo. If you haven't listened to Jackie Mittoo, you haven't heard the style of Jamaica my friend."

Organ of rhythm and harmony

"This Cd by Jackie was a great addition for me for reggae jazz. The songs he plays that are instrumental brings melody and rhythm as one with keyboard and organ sounds that accent the bass, guitar and percussion sounds. It is music that is very meditative as well as reflective and with over an hour of music to enjoy a cd that I hope all will come to enjoy as much as I have enjoyed. Something recommended for time to come as a collection worth having."
