Lobo-Gilbert CSU Monterey Bay MPA Recording Technology Spring 2014 THE SWELL AND CRASH OF SKA’S FIRST WAVE: A HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF REGGAE'S PREDECESSORS IN THE EVOLUTION OF JAMAICAN MUSIC INTRODUCTION Ska music has always been a truly extraordinary genre. With a unique musical construct, the genre carries with it a deeply cultural, sociological, and historical livelihood which, unlike any other style, has adapted and changed through three clearly-defined regional and stylistic reigns of prominence. The music its self may have changed throughout the three “waves,” but its meaning, its message, and its themes have transcended its creation and two revivals with an unmatched adaptiveness to thrive in wildly varying regional and sociocultural climates.

Dr. Albert Widman Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Masters of Arts in Strategic Communication Seton Hall University South Orange, NJ The Bob Marley Effect 2 Abstract This study explores the legacy of Robert Nesta Marley through a comparison of his influence in Jamaica and the United States. The recognition that Bob Marley received, both during his life and after his death, is comparatively different between the two countries. As iconic as Marley is, why is his message and legacy different in the United States and most of his recognition not received till after his death? The researcher explores how Marley’s message was received in the two countries and whether his audience understood his philosophy and message in the same way. Results indicate that the communication of his thoughts were heard somewhat differently in Jamaica and the United States. Finally, this study presents recommendations for future research.

Interview with Jackie Robinson
It's Pioneers month (December 2002) here at TrojanRecords.com, so we've sought out an insightful interview with the group's Jackie Robinson from January 2001. All questions put forward by Laurence Cane-Honeysett. Laurence Cane-Honeysett: Can you tell me a little about the early days? Jackie Robinson: The Pioneers were formed in the early ‘60’s to mid 1960’s, with Winston Hewitt, Sydney Crooks and his brother, Derrick Crooks. I think Winston Hewitt migrated to Canada. He was replaced by Glen Adams around 1966-67. The group broke up subsequently. So how did you become involved with the group? I met Sydney Crooks at West Indies Studio early 1967 and together we reformed the group as a duo. Our first single, - written by Sydney - was ‘Gimme Little Loving’, which went to number three in the Jamaican charts. The follow-up, written by both of us, was ‘Long Shot Bus Me Bet’ which went to number 4 in the Jamaican charts. Incidentally, both were in the charts at the same time. Subsequent releases that we co-wrote were ‘Tickle Me’, ‘Catch The Beat’ and ‘Jackpot’. At this time we were recording for Joe Gibbs on his Amalgamated Records label. ‘Jackpot’ was covered by the (UK) Beat around 1980 on their ‘Gold’ album and was featured on the B side of their top three hit, ‘Mirror in the Bathroom’. After your spell with Joe Gibbs, you moved to Leslie Kong’s Beverley’s label? In 1968 we switched labels to Beverley’s Records and invited George Agard to join the group.

Producer/Director Gunter Kutsch & Jean Luc Young Here's a little history of the most influential Ska group coming out of Jamaica. (adapted from The Skatalites Official Website) In Jamaica in the mid-50's, a fledgling recording industry saw the birth of what became known as Ska. Created by fusing Boogie-Woogie Blues, R+B, Jazz, Mento, Calypso and African rhythms, Ska became the first truly Jamaican music and by the 60's all the vocalist were swarming to the studios to record their songs to this infectious new beat. Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Toots and the Maytals, Jimmy Cliff, Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe are just a few of the names who came to record this new music, which coincided with the whole island's excitement about Jamaica's independence in 1962. The core musicians playing on most of these sessions saw the opportunity to play this music live to the public.Tommy McCook, Rolando Alphonso, Johnny Moore, Lester Sterling, Don Drummond, Lloyd Knibb, Lloyd Brevett, Jerry Haynes, and Jackie Mittoo began working together in 1963 and formed The Ska-talites in May 1964. The Skatalites record their first LP at Studio One in Kingston, Ska Authentic, and tour the island as the creators of Ska. Their recordings for various producers rule the airwaves, stations JBC and RJR, that is.

Bob Marley and the Wailers “Compared Discography”
Bob Marley and the Wailers “Compared discography” KAZO, http://kazo.wailers.free.fr/ v.13 January 29th, 2009 SOURCES OF PASSION: OFFICIAL RECORDS and HIDDEN GEMS In the following pages, all regular entries, officially released, are in black. In Grey are the official songs which have been restored or cleaned by me (sometimes with significant improvement). Red and orange mark songs obtained by trade, not officially available yet. Red addresses tracks from various vinyls, 7’, 12’, LPs, dark red addresses other sources, demos, rehearsals, dubplates, etc. Blue are the known songs from whose I own no copy yet (hope this category will reduce in future!). Finally, there are several legendary titles with no extant recording known: there are written in purple here. (Light green is for tracks which have been mistakenly attributed to the Wailers and which should not be there). I have neglected most of cheap compilations as well as some important Trojan releases which are outdated today like “African Herbsman”, “Rasta Revolution”, “In Memoriam”, “In The Beginning”, and so on. (Although most of them are now reappearing with extra tracks on CD, 2004). : Songs of Freedom. (SoF-1) to (SoF-4) , Tuff Gong, Island, 1992, is the best available compilation for whom wants to discover Bob Marley’s legacy. The songs of this boxset span all over Bob Marley’s career. The sound is neat but appears sometimes slightly remixed and less genuine. But, it greatest interest is the inclusion of the two very first songs recorded by Bob Marley and the Wailers in 1962. As far as the later periods are concerned, several rarities, like the original Iron Lion Zion, are only found in this boxset.
