Tommy McCook and the Aggravators - Brass Rockers - Vinyl LP

Two titans of dub reggae join forces on this reissue of a 1975 set from Tommy McCook and The Aggrovators backed with three unreleased bonus dubs. As an original leader of the Skataites and later the Supersonics, McCook is a pivotal figure in Jamaican popular music and jazz, lending his playing to countless records from the early 1950s until his death in 1998. King Tubby, under the instruction of Bunny Lee, rejigs a stack of riddims to foreground the his assuredly laidback and happy sax, creating a deftly melodic yet heavy set.
