Compiled by Rob Bell. He remembers: "I dealt with him [Emil Shallit] in 1979-80 when Island licensed a few cuts for The Blue Beat Years.The Birth Of A Music album that I put together, attempting to trace the influence of R&B on Jamaican music. For some reason or other, he changed his mind after Island pressed the thing, and it got withdrawn. (The LP briefly surfaced in Germany only, and is now a considerable rarity.)"

• Rico: Symphony / Matilda (7": Grover /D, Nov. 2000)


"Der Reggae-Posaunist, der Musikgeschichte schrieb, meldet sich hier mit einer neuen Single zurück! Zwei Tracks, die grooven und mit ihren Melodien direkt gefangennehmen.
Rico Rodriguez stellt wieder einmal unter Beweis, dass er nach wie vor der Meister seines Instrumentes ist, und dass seine beseelten Kompositionen und sein inspiriertes Spiel unvergleichlich sind." (Grover)
• Rico: Get Up Your Foot (CD: Grover /D, released in Feb. 2001)

Soloist with:

• The Mad Lighters: Shine (CD)


• Fidel Nadal: Selassie I Dios Todo Poderoso (CD: Ultima Talent /Argentina)

Sampler/Re-issues:

• Rico: Get Up Your Foot, on: V.A.: 'Up Your Ears Vol. 3 (CD: Grover /D)
• Don Drummond/Rico Rodriguez: Reggae Jazz Attack (2CD: Charly /D)

Good idea, but strange compilation of Duke Reid produced Don Drummond tracks from the 1960s and Rico's 1995/1997 release Wonderful World / Rico's Message. What makes the compilation interesting is the obvious difference between the two trombonists. Drummond is a very good inventor of melodies. But Rico has a far better feeling for his instrument. There is much more soul in his expression.

• tb on: "Panic in Babylon" > Lee "Scratch" Perry: Panic In Babylon (Damp Music)


Nach langen Jahren des Wartens ist mit "Panic In Babylon" ein herausragendes Album von dem alten Reggae-Zausel Lee Perry am Start. Komponiert wurde die Musik in der Schweiz von den White Belly Rats, mit denen er auch dieses Jahr live zu sehen war! Auf die dichten und treibenden Dubreggae-Rhythmen der Band legt Perry seinen eigenartigen Gesang, den man als spontane Poesie begreifen und zwischen Genie und Wahnsinn bzw. Erde und Weltall verorten könnte. Sehr schön ist zudem die Tatsache, dass sich beim Titeltrack Rico Rodriquez mit seiner Posaune einfindet und den Tune veredelt! Endlich wieder ein aktuelles Album von Perry, das einen dicken Tipp wert ist! Aufatmen & genießen!!
