Interesting times I remember meeting Mr Marley at my father's house in the countryside as a kid. He was looking land to buy in the West around Negril area. He talked for hours with my father and mother I remember him like it was yesterday. A great Jamaican and a nice person.
@@noriwilliams4637 He asked me my name I told him David he laughed as Ziggy his son is also David. I was given a Rasta tam so my memory is good had it in my room for year's.
Thank you, Mr Jaffe. It is refreshing to hear an historically accurate history of the early days of Bob & The Wailers and Island records, and of Jamaica itself. You were there! I started seriously studying Jamaican history and culture and reggae music in 1973 after buying Catch A Fire and seeing Harder They Come. It changed my life. My sincere thanks to you for your contribution to the evolution and history of The Wailers music (and your wonderful harmonica on Rebel Music!)
I had a golden opportunity to see Bob Marley perform Live at Apollo Theatre in Harlem when I was young. I so wish those were the times of selfies and social media. Never took a single photo. 🙃Anyway, also I hate, HATE that good people like Bob Marley who would make this world a much better place happen to die too soon while some scum of the earth who live to destroy it seem to live forever. It's so unfair. RIP Bob Marley. Rest in power, sir. ✊
Thanks for presenting Mr. Jaffe here! Very enlightening! He is very special and we should cherish such rich memory he is sharing with us. Blessings to both of you.
I was born 1964 in Jamaica. This guy is spot on with the political scene in Jamaica during the 70’s. In addition I still remember the rise of rastafarians. Parents were afraid of rastafarian movements as they did not understand it.
Great interview! I like that you let your guests speak and not cut them off, allow them to finish. I have seen a lot of interviews where the host don’t allow their guest to finish speaking, you are awesome!
Thank you to both of for such an indepth high quality interview. The contestualization of Bob, his music in this interview and extended analyses has been done with a huge amount of culture, knowledge and experience. Rare and precious
Acquired 'Lee Jaffe', latest publication a few weeks ago, not read as yet due to vast array of books I've acquired over the past year, looking forward to reading it...Had there been no indentured slavery within Jamaica/Caribbean who knows what the music industry would be like within Jamaica & the Caribbean...Interesting interview real history...
Lee Jaffe was more than a photographer! He was a consummate harmonica player and producer! He actually played his harmonica solo on the original Rebel Music song on Bob Marley's Natty Dread album and also produced Peter Tosh's Legalise It album! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!!
Really a fantastic interview with a lot of insight about the huge significance of Bob Marley and the Wailers contributions- and not only to music- but with amazing unequaled music as the vehicle. ❤
This is very interesting- real life on the spot stories about Bob Marley! Always great to hear from Men’s perspective HOWEVER From a Woman’s point of view, I can understand why Rita moved out with her children. #LoveSign #DrugsNoWay
The interviewer asked too many uninformed naive questions. This would have been more effective if he had more knowledge about the subject matter. There is much more to Lee Jaffe than the fact that he lived with Bob Marley. He is an artist and historian.
Yeah, it would have been interesting if Lee and I covered topics such as fascist governments, parallel art movements in Brazil and the US, Bob Marley's entry into the US market, opening for Bruce Springsteen at Max's Kansas City, the island of Jamaica, contract formation w/ I sand Records, the impact of Catch a Fire, returning to NYC and playing harmonica w/ Bob infront of thousands in Central Park, etc.
In this episode of Some Future Day, master photographer Lee Jaffe shares insights from his new book ' Hit Me With Music: roots rock reggae,' and recounts his extraordinary artistic journey. Starting from his days as a double major in art and LSD at Penn State, to his transformative experiences in politically charged Brazil and culturally rich Jamaica, Lee opens up about his role in the legalization of cannabis and his interactions with influential artists like Hélio Oiticica. The episode explores his arrest and subsequent move to Jamaica, aligning with the Rasta culture during a tense political climate under Michael Manley. Lee delves into his close relationship with Bob Marley and the Wailers, detailing their struggles, triumphs, and the creation of iconic music like 'Catch a Fire.' Additionally, the narrative covers the early days of Island Records, Marley's impactful performances, and the cultural convergence with artists like Bruce Springsteen. Reflecting on the evolving landscape of art, the discussion extends to the influence of digital photography and AI, transforming artistic practices amid technological advancements. This episode provides an in-depth look at the intersection of art, politics, and music through the lens of Lee Jaffe's multifaceted career.
I had italo scanga for a teacher when I went to Tyler school of art in Philadelphia for sculpture & I wouldn't call him a great teacher. His conceptual art was boring !!
Regarding the use of images by fascist and totalitarian governments. Don’t forget North Korea. They use art to the nth degree there in their manipulation of the actual realities.
Can we stay away from aesthetics & focus on substance? The substance here is the history & the man telling it , isn’t it ? It is remarkable how some simply judge without embracing differences.
@ I’ve never seen glasses with this much substance before. But in seriousness: have a sense of humor! I am sure Lee Jaffe chuckles at comments like these.
The interpretation this guy gives for the title of the album is crazy! It says in the song exactly what it means and who it is being addressed to. Cognitive dissonance is an innate trait of those other people!

Thanks Lee
I remember Jaffe recalling when Bobs dreads were cut off because the chemo , He asked Bob if he was going for the rudeboy look.. Funny guy.

@@aframaco9491 very good.
The question about double meaning in Catch a Fire was interesting. I actually find double or sometimes triple meaning in a lot of his songs. Lol
@@Paige-hh2zp cool.
Jah bless Lee "Jah free"....
What do you call a RASTA with glasses? Rasta4eye🤓
Hahahaha
very good
Really a fantastic interview with a lot of insight about the huge significance of Bob Marley and the Wailers contributions- and not only to music-
but with amazing unequaled music as the vehicle. ❤
@@Paige-hh2zp excellent.
There is no world without Wailers
Every single time
😂 ...noticed.
interessante a passagem dele pelo Brasil na época da ditadura militar
The glasses a really distracting for me. Thanks for sharing your story and adventures. Party on ……….
And the dirty shirt..
This guy is a tru White Rasta

People from 193 countries repeated Legalize IT... By Peter TOSH
I had italo scanga for a teacher when I went to Tyler school of art in Philadelphia for sculpture & I wouldn't call him a great teacher. His conceptual art was boring !!
Historian
We are not in vain
Regarding the use of images by fascist and totalitarian governments. Don’t forget North Korea. They use art to the nth degree there in their manipulation of the actual realities.
I am alive
And yet you all killed him?
Man, get another glasses...😂
But then how will people know he‘s an artist?
Who are you to dictate? I guess a very sad and pathetic person
Can we stay away from aesthetics & focus on substance? The substance here is the history & the man telling it , isn’t it ? It is remarkable how some simply judge without embracing differences.
@@ElimanGibba Indeed, and important and compelling story. 100 percent. Please be kind.
@ I’ve never seen glasses with this much substance before.
But in seriousness: have a sense of humor! I am sure Lee Jaffe chuckles at comments like these.
You don't know what is the trend now!!!
Mind your own business...
