VA • Studio One Jump-Up (The Birth Of A Soundː Jump-up Jamaican R&B, Jazz & Early Ska)

 

In the early releases featured here you will find the roots of Studio One’s unique sound – from the first jump-up, boogie-woogie and shuffle recordings made in Jamaica in the late 1950s, as the artists emulated their American rhythm and blues idols – Louis Jordan, Roscoe Gordon, Fats Domino – through to the early Rastafari rhythms of Count Ossie, the righteous Baptist beat of Toots and the Maytals up to the joyous excitement of Ska with tracks by Studio One’s young protégées Bob Marley and The Wailers and the all-mighty Skatalites.

Clement ‘Sir Coxsone’ Dodd first began recording music in the late 1950s, making one-off records to play on his Downbeat Sound System. These ‘exclusive dup-plates’ enabled him to reign supreme in the regular dancehall soundclashes of Kingston, fighting off the competition from rivals including Duke Reid the Trojan and Prince Buster. This new album traces the roots of the legendary label as it created the sound of the young independent Jamaican nation going into the early 1960s.

Sir Coxsone used only the finest musicians in Jamaica for these recordings, including those players that would later become known worldwide as the Skatalites, Don Drummond, Roland Alphonso, Ernest Ranglin, Rico Rodriguez, Cluett Johnson and others. As fans clamoured to get a copy of these ‘one-off’ exclusive records, Clement Dodd eventually decided to start making them available commercially starting in 1959, and so began the birth of an empire.

And so by the time the new Studio One studio/record company/pressing plant complex at 13 Brentford Road opened its doors in 1963, with The Skatalites in place as the in-house band, the foundations of Jamaica’s most important record label had already been firmly established. As well as those listed above, this album brings together some of the finest of these early reggae artists to record for Clement Dodd including Derrick Morgan, Owen Gray, Derrick Harriott, Lord Creator and Owen Gray.

En los primeros lanzamientos presentados aquí encontrarás las raíces del sonido único de Studio One, desde las primeras grabaciones de jump-up, boogie-woogie y shuffle realizadas en Jamaica a finales de la década de 1950, cuando los artistas emulaban a sus ídolos americanos del rhythm and blues -Louis Jordan, Roscoe Gordon, Fats Domino-, pasando por los primeros ritmos rastafaris de Count Ossie, el virtuoso ritmo baptista de Toots and the Maytals hasta la alegre emoción del ska con temas de los jóvenes protegidos de Studio One, Bob Marley and The Wailers y los todopoderosos Skatalites.

Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd empezó a grabar música a finales de los años 50, haciendo discos únicos para reproducirlos en su Downbeat Sound System. Estos "discos exclusivos" le permitieron reinar en las peleas de sonido dancehall de Kingston, luchando contra la competencia de rivales como Duke Reid the Trojan y Prince Buster. Este nuevo álbum recorre las raíces del legendario sello mientras creaba el sonido de la joven nación jamaicana independiente a principios de la década de 1960.

Sir Coxsone sólo utilizó a los mejores músicos de Jamaica para estas grabaciones, incluyendo a los músicos que más tarde serían conocidos mundialmente como los Skatalites, Don Drummond, Roland Alphonso, Ernest Ranglin, Rico Rodríguez, Cluett Johnson y otros. Como los fans clamaban por conseguir una copia de estos discos exclusivos "únicos", Clement Dodd decidió finalmente empezar a comercializarlos a partir de 1959, y así comenzó el nacimiento de un imperio.

Y así, cuando el nuevo complejo de estudios/compañía discográfica/prensa Studio One, situado en el número 13 de Brentford Road, abrió sus puertas en 1963, con The Skatalites como banda interna, los cimientos del sello discográfico más importante de Jamaica ya estaban firmemente establecidos. Además de los mencionados, este álbum reúne a algunos de los mejores artistas de los primeros tiempos del reggae que grabaron para Clement Dodd, como Derrick Morgan, Owen Gray, Derrick Harriott, Lord Creator y Owen Gray.
