Trombone Man: Ska's Fallen Genius is a forthcoming comic book series coming in 2022, written/created by Adam Reeves and illustrated by Costantinos Pissourios (AKA Versioncos). It tells the story of Jamaican trombonist Don Drummond who was a member of pioneering ska band the Skatalites during the early 1960s.

The comic book series will get to the heart of his story and reveal the truth behind Don and Margarita's lives and the tragedy that befell them. Adapted with kind permission from the 2013 biography Don Drummond: The Genius and Tragedy of the World's Greatest Trombonist by Heather Augustyn, Trombone Man: Ska's Fallen Genius will be a Kickstarter crowdfunded project, available to pre-order along with especially created merchandise only available via the Kickstarter platform.

The original trumpet player on Beatles record plays along with himself
Переглядів 105 років тому
87 year old trumpet player Eddie 'Tan Tan' Thornton played on the original 1966 Beatles recording of Got To Get You Into My Life. At a book launch event in Brighton 2018, where Tan Tan made a surprise guest appearance, he jammed along with his own trumpet part. A truly magical moment from a very special musician.

Переглядів 91 тис.15 років тому
I made this short film in 2007 after returning from a trip to Alpha Boys School. Having filmed an Alpha Boys re-union show in London in February that same year, I was attempting to make a documentary about the school. For various reasons, the film did not materialise, but instead, I co-wrote and independently published a book 10 years later, Alpha Boys School: Cradle of Jamaican Music (2017), w...

If one area on the planet could be said to have given rise to the most musical superstars per square inch, it has got to be Kingston's notorious ghetto area of Trenchtown. All three original Wailers, Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh were from here, as were Alton Ellis, Toots and the Maytals, the Wailing Souls, The Skatalites and scores of other legends and lesser-known reggae artists. Ri...

someone knows the name of the song of Yellowman ??
Pierre P. Yes I know it
thanks for uploading this video, haven't seen it for years, I directed it!!
+john humphreys Wow! would love to hear the story behind making it...
it's not very interesting, but Bim was very cool and loved what the stylist had got him to wear - I think he went straight off from our N. Wales shoot to Glastonbury!
Do you know what year it would have been?
1998 I think!
I saw Bim's '98 Glastonbury show... it was on the friday afternoon in the pouring rain. You were lucky with the weather for your video shoot then, because I remember it seemed to come out of nowhere and totally drowned Glastonbury that weekend...
which song is that in the end? My respect to AlphaFamily!

ALPHA HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF MY BRETHRENS AND OUR TRENCH TOWN RUNNINGS. I WOULD LEAVE MY ST. GEORGES COLLEGE ON NORTH STREET AND WALK OVER TO ALPHA CLOSE BY. I AM WILLING TO HELP ALPHA RISE AS MUCH AS I KNOW THAT TRENCH TOWN WILL RISE. I HAVE THE HISTORY AND THE RICHNESS OF THE REGGAE LEGACY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. MY CREW WILL SHARE BECAUSE WE ALWAYS CARE. LINK UP WHENEVER POSSIBLE- RAS CARDO REGGAE FOUNDATION. PEACE!
I just sit back in my seat and got lost. It really calms the spirit, Bim felt that he was going off this world, and made this...heavenly album. Each time I get upset and nervous, this is my way to get relaxed. Rest now rasta, give thanks
