He was one of the instigators of Ska music, Rocksteady and Reggae. In the seventies, DJ music and Dancehall were based upon classic rhythms of the sixties, many using the instrumental tracks that Jackie Mittoo created at Studio One at this time. This compilation features the work of Jackie Mittoo at Studio One. It features music recorded as a solo artist (as opposed to the numerous singers that he accompanied). Most of these are taken from his recordings in the mid sixties where he was recording on an almost daily basis at Studio One's Brentford Road studios developing the funky reggae sound that was his trademark. ## Images ![Jackie Mittoo Keyboard King - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nPXgjdxWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crossing Musical Borders *by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2015* This is reggae music for people who thought they didn't like reggae music, songs that cross musical borders. Jackie Mittoo had such a deft, versatile keyboard playing style that it truly was hard to pigeonhole him or categorize his sound. Yes, his music has roots in 1960s reggae and ska, but it also incorporates soul, jazz, and pop stylings too. The end result is a totally addictive sound.I've lost track of how many times I've played this CD in my shop and a customer will ask either "Who is this playing?" ... or "Is that Booker T?" Indeed, Jackie Mittoo has a playing style that echoes the soulful riffs of Booker T's 1960s material, but he fuses that with other elements and influences to create his own distinctive sound. I'm not sure that it all qualifies as "groundbreaking" as the label raves, but it sure is an addictive pleasure to listen to.The instrumental songs on this CD compilation are taken from Mittoo's work at Studio One, during the time he worked there as a songwriter, arranger, and recording artist from 1965-68. However, nowhere in the track listings or in the booklet that comes with the CD, are there any specific dates listed for each song. Presumably, Mittoo wrote all of these songs, but again the lack of detail for the song credits leaves you guessing. Other than those slightly odd omissions, the booklet has a short essay about Mittoo's recording career, tragically cut short at the age of 42 in 1990.For fans of organ/keyboard playing greats such as Booker T, Jimmy Smith, and Reuben Wilson, the music on this CD will be a revelation, if not a sheer listening pleasure. Reggae fans will like it too, but by no means do you have to be a reggae fan to appreciate this great instrumental music. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2016* Great music on a beautifully pressed piece of vinyl. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jackie Mittoo Is the Man *by A***X on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2013* Excellent Record for the collector or DJ...Mellow Instrumentals and Heavy Keyboards...!!!
