Track:hot shots, evening time
jackie mittoo was a keyboard player, composer, arranger & producer at coxsone dodd's jamaican record manufacturing co. aka Studio One. he led or was a member of a succession of studio groups (soul vendors, sound dimension, invaders, brentford all stars, new establishment) and backed bob marley and the wailers, heptones, delroy wilson & alton ellis among others.it is aknowledged that most of the rhythms credited to coxsone dodd were in fact composed by mr. mittoo. the tradition in jamaica back then was the producer paid for the song & then he owned it. with the lack of copyright laws the thing still got more confusing and most of jamaican artists never saw any royalties coming their way.his first album as a leader of the soul vendors is "evening time" released on the summer of 1968 when ska music turned to a more soulful format known as rocksteady (mostly because of the hot summer of 1967, dancers couldnt keep up with the fast ska riddims & started asking for something slower). enjoy.
