Tribute To Jackie Mittoo

Recorded at Jamaica Recording and Publishing Studios, Kingston, Jamaica Mastered at Northeastern Digital Recording. Recorded throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. "Jackie is a true legend in Reggae music. Mentor to countless singers and musicians, as well as being a great part of the Studio One story. As a musician he was just always there, both personally and spiritually. Jamaican music lost a true giant and Studio One lost a friend when Jackie passed on. This 31 song tribute showcases many of different sides of Jackie. From his Jimmy Smith styled organ outings, to Stax influenced soul workouts, to his own Reggae rave ups. You'll hear vocals and solos, and plain exuberance, and you'll always hear soul. 'Cause Jackie was a true soul man and it showed. Thank you Jackie, we will miss you."
