about

The music contained in this album invokes the vibes and spirit that were so crucial to much of the music recorded during the 1960’s & 70’s in Jamaica. If you talk to the musicians and singers of this era, they will tell you that the driving force behind the songs they created was the sheer love of music.

The members of KAS have been working & recording with each other in some of Jamaica’s most legendary studios for over 50 years. The vibes and music that are created when they get together is nothing short of magic. This is the 3rd KAS LP showcasing the talents of Jamaica’s top session musicians from the golden era of Jamaican music. These are the artists who laid the foundation for Rocksteady, Reggae, Roots and beyond in countless recording sessions around Jamaica & without them the music we love would not exist.

The album’s intro piece “Boo Rock”, is a tribute to the legendary drummer Mikey “Boo” Richards. Mikey has recorded with many of the Kingston All Stars in some of Jamaica’s most fabled studios. It is obvious that Mikey is revered by all of the Kingston All Stars and it is fitting that this is the 1st track on the album.

Singer Allen Jahsana who is known for his work with Mikey Chung in the early 70’s brings two amazing songs to the project. The first “Jungle Justice” is a commentary on the lack of justice in the tough streets of Kingston, one which Alan knows firsthand as a longtime Kingstonian. The second vocal “Rising from the Ghetto” is a call to the youth to rise up out of sufferation with some seriously heavy basslines courtesy Jackie Jackson.

New to the KAS family Carol Brown’s “Only Jah Knows” on a sweet dubbed out Rocksteady riddim shines that much brighter with the help of her daughter, Krystal Mittoo. Carl was married to Jackie Mittoo before his untimely passing.

Greenwich Farm Rasta and legendary roots vocalist Prince Alla adds a real classic vibe to a new he wrote titled “My Vision". The deep and powerful style Alla is known for was voiced on a riddim built by keyboard legend Ansel "Stagalag" Collins.

“Guns & Pulpit” the companion vocal for “Clappers Dub” which saw release on the KAS Dub LP, finally sees the light of day. A proper roots anthem from singer RZee Jackson with conscious lyrics and RZee’s unique vocal style.

The Kingston All Stars include Sly Dunbar, Hux Brown, Mikey “Mao” Chung, Ansel Collins, Jackie Jackson, Robbie Lyn, Everton & Everald Gayle with the guidance of musician, writer & engineer Moss “ Mossman “ Raxlen. Members of the Kingston All Stars have been part of / or recorded with The Revolutionaries, Lynn Taitt & The Jets, Studio One’s Sound Dimension and Soul Vendors Band, Lee “Scratch” Perry’s Upsetters, Peter Tosh’s Word Sound and Power Band, Toots and the Maytals, Now Generation, In Crowd, Wailers Band and countless others.
