Jamaican Producer All Stars of the 60s and 70s

Jamaica in the 1960’s and 1970s  saw the rise in musical fame of sound engineers who would “remix” instrumental tracks adding primitive sound effects and creating brand new songs. These innovative mixing techniques and new sounds became known as dub and laid the ground work for much of the DJ culture of today. Tune into a dub dance party as we parade through many of these legendary producers such as King Tubby, Joe Gibbs, Herman Chin-Loy, Lee Perry, Coxsone Dodd, and King Jammy just to name a few. Dub it to the top!

60th Anniversary Celebration of the release of Kind of Blue by Miles Davis

60 years ago, on August 15, 1959, saw the release of Kind of Blue arguably the greatest jazz album ever recorded. Kind of blue is the best selling jazz record of all time, no. 1 on the BBC 50 greatest jazz albums, and no 12 on the rolling stone magazine list of the 50 greatest albums fall time. Jazz Pianist Chick Corea said about the album. “It is one thing to play a tune or a program of music, but it’s another to practically create a new language of music, which is what Kind of Blue did.” Quincy Jones called it “a work of art that explains what jazz is.” Come listen to what all the fuss is about as we play live recordings from the album and sample some covers.
