This week, a playlist that highlights their long-lasting effect on the culture of Jackie Mittoo and Tommy McCook.
It is no coincidence that Mittoo and McCook share a birthday. They were bandmates in the Skatalites and as individuals, they both became heavyweights in the Jamaican music scene. Their arrangements for labels like Studio One and Treasure Isle have become canon in the reggae world; their contributions are immeasurable. Please enjoy.
