Description

This week Roger and Devin are joined by Jamaican Roots pioneer Winston Jarrett. He tells us all about his early childhood, forming The Flames with Alton Ellis in the early days of ska and together cutting some of Alton's biggest tunes, embarking on a solo career, and how the inequities of the music business that Winston had to overcome at every turn led to him switching to self-production in the mid-70s. Don't miss this rare chance to hear from one of Reggae's most under-appreciated stars.Records Of The Week:Roger - Prince Buster Allstars - "Dance, Cleopatra, Dance"Devin - Reggae Boys - "Selassie"===Man-Like-Devin and Roger Rivas talk all things reggae with original and modern artists in the scene live on http://Rootfire.net/tv​.In addition to their weekly discussion of hand-selected records from their collections of Jamaican music on vinyl, Roger and Devin are joined this week by Winston Jarrett.VINYL GIVEAWAY:Hugh Mundell / Roots Radicshttps://rootfire.net/giveaway-hugh-mundell-roots-radics/SHOP PODCLASH MERCH!

Rootfire Presents: The Reggae Podclash's mission is to share the stories of foundational reggae artists, creating a historical record told by the artists themselves, while building bridges to new artists who have followed in their footsteps. Hosted by Devin Morrison and Roger Rivas, two longtime players in the Los Angeles reggae scene who have performed and recorded with Jamaican legends including Alton Ellis, Prince Buster, Leonard “The Ethiopian” Dillon, Wailing Souls, Roy Shirley, Pat Kelly, Prince Jazzbo, Willie Williams, The Cables, Derrick Morgan, Stranger Cole, The Maytones, Soul Syndicate, Ranking Joe, Half Pint and more. Devin is also Rootfire’s Editor and founding member of roots reggae group The Expanders, while Roger is musical director for early reggae revivalists The Aggrolites, and a prolific producer & engineer. As collectors of Jamaican vinyl, Devin and Roger begin each episode by highlighting a “Record of The Week” from their own collections, before a long-form conversation with a special guest.
