Lloyd Mason

Lloyd Mason – Jamaican Pre-Ska - Bass, Flute, Oboe, Piccolo   The Val Bennett orchestra was playing dance music at a house party on Lloyd Mason’s street (7th Street in Greenwich Town) and a five year old Lloyd snuck out of the house to listen to the orchestra and he stayed there all night long.  “Thats where I belong and I believe that’s where my music started – right there.”  In 1945 at age ten, Lloyd was living with his mother and became unruly.  Soon, his father came to get him and brought him to Stony Hill School.  Lloyd’s father served in the Jamaican Army with the bandmaster and arranged for this move in order to teach Lloyd a trade or to learn music.  Lloyd was not put into music immediately.  He was taken to learn shoe-making.  Six months later, the bandmaster came to speak with him and examined Lloyd’s fingers and his mouth, handed him a six-hole fife and said, “You’re going to learn this.”  Bass player, Cluett Johnson’s brother was also a youth at Stony Hill School and he played the piccolo.  Cluett’s brother taught Lloyd the fife.  Roland Alphonso was also at Stony Hill and was playing the slide drum. Despoite his young age, Lloyd became accomplished at the flute in playing with Stony Hill Boy’s Band. Over at the  Jamaican Military Band, a man named Spud Murphy was the drum major and the flute and piccolo player.  As it came time for Spud Murphy to retire,  The Military Band was challenged as it had no trained members to play the fife.  None could read, write, or play the fife.  To address this need, the Bandmaster for the Military Band spoke with the bandmaster at Stony Hill about Lloyd’s move to the Military Band.  There was no audition for Lloyd Mason after Spud Murphy left.  It was obvious who had the ability to fit the role.  The fellow band members began to call him “Spuddy” or “Boy Mason.”  Lloyd was the youngest person in the Jamaican Military Band and was a “young hand.”  Marjorie Whylie (well known educator and Musical Director of The Jamaican National Dance Theatre Company) commented on the work of Mr. Mason, “Lloyd Mason is a well known bass player who can read music very well and is an absolute asset for musicians in his company.” Selected Cuts: Off the “I Cover the Water Front” LP Port-O-Jam Records, Recorded at Federal Studios Featuring Cecil Lloyd (Piano), Lloyd Mason (Bass), Roland Alphonso (Tenor Saxophone), Lowell Morris (Drums), Don Drummond (Trombone) “Sometimes I Am Happy” “Loafers and Wristless” “Grooving With The Beat” Off the “Jazz Jamaica” LP,  Studio One Records, Recorded at Federal Studios Featuring Don Drummond (Trombone), Ernest Ranglin (Guitar), Cecil Lloyd (Piano), Carl McLeod (Drums), Billy Cooke (Trumpet), Tommy McCook (Tenor Saxaphone), Roland Alphonso (Tenor Saxophone), Lloyd Mason (Bass).  “Calypso Jazz” “Serenade In Sound” (Featuring Don Drummond) b  “The Answer” (Featuring Tommy McCook)

John Holt

www.reggaejamaicaway.comJamaican music singer John Holt recently passed away.  What a great singer.  John Holt has a number of very significant qualities that will last over time:  Holt was the lead singer for a classic Jamaican harmony group, The Paragons.   Holt scored iconic hits with The Paragons like “On The Beach” and “Tide Is High” which was an early crossover hit.  Holt then continued with a solo career and again created smash hits with “Ali Baba,” “Stealing, Stealing,” “Police In Helicopter, and “Up Park Camp.”  Holt sang the original of “A Love I Can Feel” which became one of the most prominent versioned Reggae songs in history.

Elephant Man’s music is fun.  Not only is the music enjoyable to listen to, but Elephant Man has fun with his music.  Usually not too serious, it has some form of gimmick, and it’s packed with energy.  Then add a live performance and the formula is complete.  As a modern day Dancehall artist, Elephant Man has used this formula to bridge his work from the late 90’s and has continued to make himself viable.  In the arena of gimmickry, Elephant Man is a force.  He walked onto the scene with red and  orange colored hair alongside Harry Toddler, Nitty Kutchie, Boom Dandimite as The Scare Dem Crew.  Elephant developed catch phrases like “Good To Go,” “Shizzle Mi Nizzle,” "Bomb A Drop," and was known by the nickname of Energy God.  The nickname relates to Elephant’s well known stage performances.  Elephant comments,  “Mi is a man, so ya see me ya see energy.  Mi nah put on.  Is just me dat.  From mi a lickle yout it just deh ya in mi.  The fans, they give me the name Energy god.  They see mi climb pon de box, mi go up pon the speaker, mi go up pon the iron, mi jump in a de crowd, mi up pon de wire, up pon de fence.  Sugar Minott, and Ken Boothe.  Ken Boothe say, “Elephant, you a the ungo dj mi see who used to go like me in my time.  Fit and physical”  Tiger and Lieutenant Stitchie used to jump too.  We ah the young generation, so we take it pon the next level.  It jus’ the vibe of the people, them enjoy themselves."     Elephant can also chat slackness and was involved in the August 2001 SumFest event where the Jamaican government shutdown artists chatting slackness, while the artists were performing on stage.  Elephant comments, “Jamaica the land of bad word y’know.  Some people them ah try use we now fe make an example a what dem do wrong.  Artists clash. When dem clash, bottle fling, people get lick.  Then the promoter turn it over pon we an’ lef we inna everyting.  I didn’t make no clash start.  I jus’ curse one bad word, yes.  Memba, a beer elder there inna a de show.  It depends on how I cuss the badword, because I was just expressing my feeling when I was saying that Malcolm shouldn’t dead.  Mi just a vex that Malcolm was dead an’ curse the badword.  They just come up pon this profanity thing and everybody try to use the entertainer for bad example. “

Phillip Smart - "Smart Reggae" Programme 1985

Bunny Rugs was an early member of Inner Circle, worked as an earlier duo member with “Bunny &amp; Ricky” and recorded "Freedom Fighter" and "Bushweed Corntrash," but he is best known as the front man for Third World.  Bunny had a magnificent voice that he maintained throughout his career.  His voice was strong, powerful, and commanding.  It’s hard to separate Bunny Rugs from Third World as the image is strong and cohesive.  When William Clark – Bunny Rugs passed away, we played two hours of his music in tribute.  Our selections included two solo albums “Talking To You” on Shanachie and “Time” which was release in 2012.   More treasures are contained in the Third World recordings.  Dozens and dozens of releases to choose from and we built a “top ten” on the spot which was based on listener calls and requests.   Bunny Rugs joined Third World after Milton Hamilton left in 1976.  In the following decades the core group of Third World consisted of Bunny Rugs, Irvin “Carrot” Jarrett, Michael “Ibo” Cooper, Stephen “Cat” Coore, Richie Daley, and Willie Stewart.  Third World recorded for the Island/Mango label and allowed for high quality recordings to accompany the skilled instrumentalists that are Third World.  Most members of Third World are unique in their formal musical training.  As part of their performances, Cat Coore would bring out his cello and play a reggae laced song with that rich classical feel that the cello provides.   Third World stood out in what might be called a “golden era” of reggae bands of the 70s-80’s in Jamaica.  Third World’s style is what set them apart – they were crossing over into American Soul with songs like “Now That We Found Love” and Try Jah Love.”  Listening back now, the music is deep and soulful with a smooth groove, very different from today’s sound.   Third World’s legacy is strong in lyrical content.  Rastafari, culture and social issues were always a focus.  A focus which was not altered.  Tracks like “Cold Sweat,” “Jah Glory,” “African Woman,” and “Shine Like A Blazing Fire” convey this reliable, rootsical message.   The uptown Third World bridged the message from the heart of Jamaica and worked alongside the greats in reggae music history as partners.  Bunny Rugs was a great singer, as a group Third World is great in the studio and on vinyl and when performing live, they are a joy.

Bunny Rugs TRIBUTE - Jamaica Way

Jamaica Way - Luciano – The Messenger We spoke with Luciano and he reasoned on Rastafari and his visit to Africa.  This podcast features that commentary along with a series of ”mutant singles” by Luciano.  Mutant in the sense that they are all 7” releases not thought to be widely distributed (not on albums or major labels).  In the late 80’s – early 90’s, Luciano recorded dubplates for neighborhood sounds until he and Ricky Trooper crossed paths.  Trooper recognized Luciano’s singing ability and took him to the Aquarius recording studio in Half Way Tree Square.  Fatis Burrell of Exterminator Productions managed Luciano along with Sizzla and Turbulance at a time of dramatic growth of the Bobo Dread movement.  Over time Luciano expanded his recording limitlessly, recording on singles, albums and under contract with International labels.  Luciano clearly does not believe in overexposure.  In the early 1980’s when Yellowman and singer Don Carlos released volumes of singles and albums, some felt that recording and releasing too much would be harmful to an artist.  Overexposure appears to be a thing of the past as the baritone voice of Luciano has benefitted from recording widely, now with over 40 albums in his wake.   *Thanks to the Central Village Crew from Cleveland – Survivalist, Sparticus, Willpower, and Tan Tan.(Original tracks – songs not played to full length, but plenty for you to enjoy.   The intention is to encourage you to buy Luciano music and support the artists and producers.  Visit your local music shop or www.ebreggae .com or even www.Amazon.com to get hold of some great Reggae music.TRACKS:World Peace – John John – Lloyd James Junior – 7”Hail Rastafari – Reggae central – 2006 – 7”Good Times – Mac Dada – 7”All Fruits Ripe – Junk Yard – Scarkmooch – 7”World Leaders – Roots Rockers Music – 7”Rock and Come In – Thompson Sound – Kevan Thompson – 7”Fire and Ice – Main Frame Records – 7”What Is Man – South Block – Michael Sterling – 7”When Will Things Change (with Tony Rebel) – Big League – 7”

Bounty Killer – “The Poor People’s Governor” – with Beenie Man Clash Discussion &amp; ChunesBounty Killer a.k.a Rodney Price is one of the Kings of The Clash as well as being tops in the field of Dancehall artists from Jamaica.  Bounty helped to boost Reggae Internationally by playing a critical role.  Bounty Killer is a clash dj – very blunt and in your face.  In the late 90’s and 2000’s, Bounty’s hardcore style was identifiable to the Hip Hop audience and helped to pull in those listeners to Jamaican music.  Bounty blended hardcore with down to earth cultural lyrics and built a foundation which others utilized to push Reggae music even further.  Still, Bounty has been prolific over the years and today continues to record in great volume and tour the world.  In the process, Beenie Man stepped in and crossed Bounty.  Beenie is a self described “adaptor.”  Much like water, he can fill any space and take on that form.  On the tune “Wicked Man,” Beenie used some of the style that Bounty had perfected in the tune “Spy Fi Die.”  Bounty took offense and the conflict was formed.  The animosity shared between the artists took the form of Reggae Sting Clashes as well as song fe song counteractions over the past 20 years.  This podcast features many of those songs.  What we did do is to provide only portions of the songs in order to encourage you to seek out the tunes for purchase at your local record shop, on I-Tunes, or from Ernie B’s Reggae online.  This way the artists can benefit.  Hit “like” at Podomatic if you like this podcast – It will help us broadcast this to a wider audience.

Prince Jazzbo

Prince Jazzbo is a Jamaican DJ and was very successful as a Producer in Reggae music with his Ujama record label.  Jazzbo started as a DJ on Killa Whip sound in the Homestead area of Spanish Town.  At A dance between Killa Whip and Ruddy's Sound in 1971, Jazzbo "clashed" with the great I-Roy.  This clash was the start of some of the first musical "beef" between artists - well before Beenie and Capleton and Tupac and Biggie.  More importantly, it was a patron by the name of Coxsone Dodd who was at that dance, that invited Jazzbo to Studio One to record the very next morning.  Jazzbo was there at 5:00am waiting for Coxsone.  Prince Jazzbo is from the original school of toasters in Jamaica - alongside U-Roy, I-Roy, Big Youth, Lizzy, Dennis Alcapone, and others.  The style of Dj'ing has a unique sound and style in that era.At the time of this interview Jazzbo was actively producing the artists Horace Ferguson, Horace Andy, Buzz Parker, Little Jazzbo (his son), and Black Thunder out of Belgium.

Buju Banton

Buju Banton – Interview  -Jamaica WayThis interview is the most viewed of all of our posted interviews on Youtube at the channel “Reggae Jamaica Way.”  This podcast also features some of that interview.  If it works well, we will feature more in this format (Your feedback is appreciated).  Throughout the interview, Buju talks about his music, we thought a podcast would be perfect.  During the interview, Buju maintained direct eye contact most all the time and was very short and to the point and I had to work to keep the proper flow.  I always listen when people site a favorite artist and Buju is one of them.  Early on “The Fencebeater” Colin Moore told me how great Buju Banton was and how big he was going to get.  Colin was very knowledgeable and I listened and Colin was right!  A friend told me about seeing Buju in a dance in Kingston in the 1980’s before Buju buss.  He said Buju was just transitioning to the deep voice style, growling out his lyrics.  My friend said that Buju dj’d for hours and was stepping to the side and actually spitting up blood.  *True story. Whatever you think, Buju Banton is making a journey as an artist and as a man.  Plenty of great music and stories along the way.  If you like this one, we can set up another as Buju talked about many of his tunes.Tracks - Bogle – MangoMurderer –LP Tiul’ ShilohPanhead - African Princess – LP African PrincessOperation Ardent – LP Best OfGal Fi Beg – LP Dancehall 101 Vol. #3Tribal War (with Tony Rebel, Terry Ganzie, Brian &amp; Tony Gold)Yes Buju -  GargamelI Am Innocent – Blacker Dread

Everything Green is a riddim that was created by Artiist/Producer Ricky Tenn aka Montana Green.  This is a riddim that you have probably not heard before as it was produced by Ricky Tenn and had limited distribution.  Still, top shelf artists are featured and it has a great sound.  As I was spinning the original seven inch releases, I started searching the collection for the Gregory &amp; Ricky combination single that Ricky Tenn released on his Tenn Star record label.  I found it along with an old interview with Ricky.  Ricky Tenn was a close friend of Gregory Isaacs, so we discuss that connection and share a few stories (that I can tell) of Ricky Tenn.  “Everything Green” RiddimDaweh Congo – Strong – Sa Dos 7” 2002Junior Reid – MisidentificationJosey Wales – Thug LifeEverything Green VersionPinchers – Somebody Like MeMontana Green – (aka Ricky Tenn) –Top A TopGeorge Nooks – The LordGregory Isaacs &amp; Ricky Tenn - Jimmy John - Tenn Star RecordsInterview Ricky Tenn- WRUW Radio 22 Dec, 2000
