this era- 1968-1971.. the musicians on this little island were some of the best and most impactful. i really wish they received more credit. as session musicians they virtually worked night and day to lay down the foundational rhythms that shaped jamaican music for decades to come. this exudes soul eternal.. very powerful stuff
Cedric was often or maybe always in the band as Jackie Mittoo and Ernest Ranglin. You can find it easily online on google as Sound Dimension band - musicians. Remember they were the main and SURE SHOT musicians in Jamaica over the sixties, as all of them come from Alpha Boys School in their formation years and let´s say they were a great family, much better in general than middle sixties in Britain. Chris Blackwell was the godfather although all rastas and ćomin’ from Trenchtown you could not trust an Eton a school boy (though thrown away from Eton after one disastrous year). I do believe he was although the great connosseur writer Lloyd Bradley doesn’t mention, neither for good or bad. I would recommend both lectures to try to understand that interesting era in music. All pop and punk I heard in the 70s recorded splendid reggae tunes (UB40 most well known now, but The Police had a lot, Nina Hagen has and Bowie and Stevie Wonder did (Master Blaster was number one and the most perfectly arranged reggae tune ever). Now we have their granddaughters and grandsons, playing much simpler rap/trip…. based and the rap is toughly related as first sound systems in NYC were from Jamaicans inmigrants. Toasters became MCs and all of that other history
as Discogs info contains: ‘ "Deadly" Headley Bennett, Boris Gardiner, Cedric "Im" Brooks, Denzil Laing, Enid Campbell, Eric Frater, Ernest Ranglin, Fil Callendar, Jackie Mittoo, Joe Isaacs, Karl Bryan, Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, Leroy Sibbles, Richard Ace, Rick Frater, Robbie Lyn, Vin Gordon’. To understand how they were intermingled and played as different band names, just have a look to the ‘Reggae bibles’ the best to me out of catalogue (This is Reggae Music) but edited other newer and maybe more into it than the extreme details of how poor boys were lined up to sing a capella in a quick casting. They did not needed musicians yet, just new fresh voices. Adorable Cecile Campbell and Marlene (Aka Merlene) Webber ‘How nice it is’ is one of the happiest tunes in Jamaican music, sung in Ethiopian or a hard patois (could be ununderstable). Recovered from Studio One Archives in 2003
@@LeroyBenjamin-k9pThanks for the confirmation. I've always rated Cedric as probably my favourite Sax man and I don't think he gets enough recognition.
![SOUND DIMENSION - Congo Rock [1972]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ijY14s8OWqE/mqdefault.jpg)
One of the greatest bands ever. Underrated and obscure until 2000s compilations, lots of them recovered from their archives❤

This is Cedric Brooks. Headley Bennett plays alto sax and his style is not jazz, as is this song,
