Don Drummond Requiem
People that know me may know I have a slight obsession with Don Drummond. He's one of the original Skatalites and has composed some of my favourite music from the island of Jamaica. He's one of those tortured musical geniuses that people are so drawn to. Don Drummond never got the recognition that other artists who suffered a similar fate received, instead the mysterious circumstance surrounding his time in the Belle Vue Asylum in Kingston and the untimely death of him and his wife are still relatively unknown and many people are still unaware of his legacy on modern music, after all without Don we wouldn't have the haunting trombone solo in The Specials "Ghost-town" as Don was the man that taught Rico Rodriguez his craft. Anyway I'll let the music do the talking.
Here's a tribute to Don broadcast by Radio Jamaica Rediffusion in 1969 the year of his death feat: Prince Buster, Coxsone, Tommy McCook and others
