The record
A trio session from the Jamaican guitarist who'd soon shape ska's rhythmic backbone, caught here in a straighter jazz idiom -- lean, unhurried lines over Mowatt and Bean's supple pulse. Rare early evidence of Ranglin's fluency across the Caribbean-jazz continuum before Studio One made his name.
