The 12-track Skatalites album do make for a tidy sampler
of some of the best sides the group cut for producer Duke
Reid during the last days of Jamaican R&B and the early ska
period. While by no means a definitive collection, Skatalite
collates some choice cuts like ‘Eastern Standard Time’,
‘Don-De-Lion’ and ‘Yard Broom’ featuring the classic line-
up on fine form, with Don Drummond on trombone, Jackie
Mittoo’s piano and trumpeter Jonny “Dizzy” Moore laying
down some foundational rhythms. |
