CD Reviews

Mento Mania

Kent Miller | Clearwater, FL | 04/15/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Nice intro to the nascent Jamaican music scene goes well with a warm spring afternoon. Just be aware that the musicianship and recording quality are not up to that of the contemporary calypso scene in Trinidad nor the great ska bands of the '60s. Excellent booklet includes vintage photos, quotes from pioneer producers such as Ivan Chin, etc."
