Irie! And, welcome to another improv. jam session with
Narley Marley.
One of my all-time favorite reggae artists is Jackie Mittoo. Do
you know about Jackie Mittoo? He was one of Bob Marley's original
keyboard players. Back in the day, Jackie would hangout at
Studio One in Jamaica. They had a sweet ole' Hammond that you
can hear Jackie playing on most of the original Bob Marley
songs.
When Bob left for America and England, Jackie moved to Canada.
He released several albums that contained hits, such as,
"Wintergreen" and a cover of Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again,
Naturally".
Jackie had a hard life and died at an early age. If you ask his
friends, they'll tell you the system killed him.
Here's to Jackie... JAH, MAHN!
