Jackie Mittoo’s “Reggae Magic” is a new collection by the great Jackie Mittoo.The album features a mix 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 breakup of The Skatalites in 1965.He began exploring new musical boundaries, creating a distinctive funky, organ-led reggae sound that owed a debt to Booker T and The MGs, Jimmy Smith, Stax, and Motown, as well as to 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.Apart 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.
