Legendary
ska trombonist Emmanuel "Rico" Rodriguez became a regular contributor
to the Two Tone label - recognition of his role in the rise of the
Jamaican sound before he relocated to London in the mid 1960s. Rodriguez
recorded two albums for the Coventry imprint in 1981, both of which
have now been reissued in remastered "40th anniversary editions". That
Man's Forward, the first of these, naturally puts Rodriguez at the heart
of the action, with his distinctive trombone parts - plus some rather
good sax solos - rising above an easy-going blend of reggae, dub, ska
and rocksteady instrumentals.
