Composed of some of the most gifted musicians to ever walk the mean streets of the Jamaican capital, the Kingston All-Stars project is a celebration of the heyday of vintage reggae, taking the form of a contemporary music project that pays homage to the glory days of the music’s past.
Spearheaded by Canadian producer, engineer & musician Moss Raxlen, the Kingston All-Stars revolves around a robust core of legendary session players who have been respectively responsible for the lion’s share of the greatest Jamaican music ever committed to tape. The group includes Sly Dunbar and Mikey “Boo” Richards (drums); Hux Brown and Mikey “Mao” Chung (guitars); Robbie Lyn and Ansel Collins (keyboards); Supersad and Calvin (kette drums); Dean Barnett (steel pan); Alpha Boys school alumni Everton and Everald Gayle (on sax and trombone, respectively); and Roger White (guitar and percussion).
The album features vocal performances from the likes of Cedric Myton (The Congos), R Zee Jackson, Prince Allah, Alana Jonsana, Stranger Cole and Trevor McNaughton (Melodians)
