Jackie Mittoo's "Reggae Magic" is a new collection from the great Jackie Mittoo. The album contains a mixture of classics and rarities from the period 1967-74, when Mittoo was at the height of his musical powers.
Mittoo's solo career began after the demise of The Skatalites in 1965 and he began to explore new musical frontiers, creating a distinctive funky reggae sound with organ accompaniment that owed a debt to Booker T and The MGs, Jimmy Smith, Stax and Motown as well as the post-ska and emerging rocksteady island rhythms of Kingston, Jamaica.
His solo work at the legendary Studio One spanned seven albums and hundreds of singles. Aside from producer and founder Clement 'Sir Coxsone' Dodd, there is hardly anyone more central to the sound and success of Studio One than Mittoo: an outstanding keyboardist, songwriter, arranger, musician, truly the keyboard king of Studio One.
