Welcome to Reggae Soul Jazz Welcome to my Reggae Soul Jazz page. I've had the idea to combine reggae and jazz for many years. Ever since I heard the album "Below the Bassline" by the father of reggae jazz guitar, Ernest Ranglin. He combined reggae and jazz in a way that created the template for the style. I love his style but I tried to create a mix of music that best represented the kind of music that I listened to and that I have played with different artists over the years. It's a bit on the smoother side of jazz and reggae. I have been a sideman for smooth jazz artists such as Euge Groove, Marion Meadows, Oli Silk, Marcus Johnson, Jeanette Harris, Michael Ward, Jaared and Nestor Torres. I've also performed with r&b/soul artists such as Jodeci, Heather Headley, Chris Brown and New Edition. As a solo artist I've had the pleasure of opening up for reggae artists Kymani Marley, Banki Banx, Third World, Maxi Priest and Shaggy. I grew up listening to reggae artists such as Bob Marley, Steel Pulse, Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown, Jimmy Cliff and many others. The hypnotic groove of reggae really puts me in a good mood. Later I started listening to jazz guitarists like Grant Green, Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass. So when I heard Ernest Ranglin for the first time it all made sense to me to make music that satisfies your mind and your soul. Good jazz harmonies and solid reggae grooves to move your body to. My next collection of songs will be more straight ahead reggae grooves. I want to make an album like "Below the Bassline" with a harder edge reggae feel. My hope is to get Ronnie McQueen, original member of one of the most influential reggae bands in history, Steel Pulse, to bless my songs with his impeccable bass playing. Check out all their albums from "Handsworth Revolution" to "Earth Crisis" to hear their genius. If I can achieve that level of greatness I will be a very happy musician.
