Radiation Roots present a reissue of
Jackie Mittoo
's
The Keyboard King
, originally released in 1976. Jackie Mittoo's contribution to reggae music is immeasurable. Of mixed Indian and African-Jamaican heritage, the man born
Donat Roy Mittoo
was a gifted musician that played piano in
The Skatalites
at the age of 16. He was a very important part of reggae's evolution, having been a crucial member of the Studio One house band from its very foundation, being employed as the main keyboardist and musical arranger for an extended period, working closely there with
Lee 'Scratch' Perry
and countless other important figures, as well as relegating
Leroy Sibbles
to the bass. Although Mittoo migrated to Canada in the late 1960s, he frequently returned to Jamaica to record, maintaining his Studio One connection, and also issuing a sublime series of albums for
Bunny Lee
in the mid-1970s. The
Keyboard King
was first issued on Third World in 1976, and features Mr. Mittoo's delightful organ workouts, completely reconfiguring hits by
John Holt
,
Johnny Clarke
,
Cornell Campbell
, and
Bunny & Skully
, among others.
