In this mid-90’s interview, the late, great saxophonist recalls his playing days, from the legendary Alpha Boys school, to his “apprenticeship” years in road bands, to Studio One, Beverleys and Channel One. He reminds us of the immense contribution (mostly with limited remuneration) of Jamaica’s great session men, and that the production of music was, as ever, both collaborative and competitive: “a war between the horn players…You have to be tough”. And what collaborators. He worked with many of the best, many of the true originators of ska. He names names, some familiar (Prince Buster, “The Godfather” Don Drummond), some less so. And, finally, reveals the overriding importance of the One Drop, his simple solution for remaining carefree, and, as an added bonus, blows a few classic tunes for interviewer Steve Barrow and cameramen Don Letts and Rick Elgood.
