Original release from 1972. It's unclear when this was released on CD. Both the case and the disc have some scratches, but there are no issues with playback. A super classic album!!! Is there another work as mellow as this? It's so wonderful, a masterpiece of instrumental lovers rock, the solo debut of Jamaican pianist Gladstone Anderson, who also played with The Skatalites. A masterpiece solo work from 1972 by Trinidad and Tobago-born pianist Gladstone Anderson. The melting piano tones, elegant strings, and pleasant rhythms are fused together, a masterpiece that movingly mixes jazzy, lounge-y, and easy elements. From the gentle opening of "It May Sound Silly," to the cheerful tune of "Portrait Of Inga," the horns singing energetically in "Crazy Skank," and the piano that echoes in "Black Beat," the entire album is dreamy and mellow. GLADSTONE ANDERSON Born in St. Andrew, Jamaica, and moved to Trench Town. He learned piano from his uncle, Aubrey Adams, from the late 50s, playing calypso, mento, R&R, and R&B, and was nicknamed Gladdy. He was a pianist, singer, and producer who did countless sessions at Treasure Isle label, founded by Duke Reid, Studio One by Coxsone Dodd, Beverley's by Leslie Kong, and Gay Feet by Sonia Pottinger, who recognized his talent. His friend Stranger Cole said, "Gladdy participated in 80% of the recordings in the 60s." He was also an original member of The Skatalites and The Dragonaires before they started touring. He recorded with Don Drummond, Tommy McCook, Jackie Mittoo, Roland Alphonso, Lynn Taitt, Bob Marley, and Jimmy Cliff, and was also active with The Revolutionaries and Roots Radics, who created the reggae era from the late 70s to the 80s. He is literally the "father of Jamaican music" and a legendary keyboardist who made a huge contribution to the dawn of Jamaican music. Reggae Reggae
