Roots instrumental classics
Tommy McCook (tenor sax) and his friend Bobby Ellis (not McGregor) on trumpet recorded in the 1970s extensively for a host of roots producers and issued rare instrumental albums for Yabby You and Glen Brown. It are these tracks plus an 12'' mix of Riding West (produced by Bunny Lee) that have finally been reissued for the first time on cd. Soloing over established top roots rhythms of both producers both players hit a deep almost spiritual groove. Two classic albums for the price of one, thank you BaF.

Dub Horns Blazing
Tommy McCook & Freddy MacGregor were 2 of the greatest brass players to blow up a storm in the Windies - their mellifluous and eclectic sound graces many classic reggae albums of the era. The drum & bass sound is timeless and horn afficionados will love their fiery cool mix. The extended playing time of this CD represents excellent value, collecting rare vinyl sounds from the 70s together onto a silver disc. Part dub, part dancehall, part roots, but always superbly melodic, this is a vintage compilation that'll burn your socks off and blow you away. Recommended!
