Inspired by early Augustus Pablo records, recent Ernie Ranglin productions and anything Monty Alexander puts his name on, Cameron Greenlee is proud to step into the bandleader’s position on this adventurous project. Indeed, the mystique of foundation Jamaican roots music never sounded so clear as it does here on his new EP with The Trenton Street Collaborative. An instrumental project, Greenlee keys a musical back and forth between sometimes delicate and sometimes brash—but always compelling—saxophone, melodica, percussion and horn solos played by some of the most respected musicians on the scene: Cedric ‘IM’ Brooks (The Skatalites), Andy Bassford (Toots & The Maytals, Dennis Brown) and Kevin Bachelor (Steel Pulse, Miles Davis). To experience Greenlee’s piano going toe to toe with funky guitar riffs over a Rastafarian percussive beat, for example, reestablishes the link between the original grounation sessions held at the Wareika Hill community outside Kingston, Jamaica in the 60s that sparked the emergence of reggae with the spirit of the music today.
