JACKIE MITTOO – Champion in the Arena, 1976-77
Blood & Fire, 2003
The most influential reggae keyboardist ever, Jackie Mittoo was music director for the famed Studio 1 record label and a founding member of the Skatalites. The sides on this comp were recorded in Britain, produced by Bunny Lee and mixed by King Tubby. They're all instrumentals, with Jackie on Hammond B-3 or other electric keyboards, and have that classically 70s roots/dub sound.
There isn't much variety, but it's excellent mixing or soundbed material.
Fo's Picks: 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12,14
