Organic Reggae Sounds from the 60's & 70's

Here's another selection of Early Reggae instrumentals for your listening enjoyment that focuses on organ instrumentals. The organ has played an integral role in the development of reggae. The organ first appeared on a few ska instrumentals and grew in importance through the rocksteady era, but really came into it's own during the early reggae period from roughly 1968 through 1974 or so. Even through the mid 70's through the early 80's the organ was still widely used but eventually fell out of fashion once synthesizers became popular with JA's session musicians. The following tracks are all original 45's out of JA or the UK, and was selected by Mark "Dukey" Gorney who is somewhat of a specialist these days when it comes to rare reggae keyboard instrumentals. You can catch Mr. Gorney at The Missouri Lounge in Berkeley, 4th Thursday of each month, spinning classic & rare ska, rocksteady, and reggae vinyl.

This thursday night @ The Make-Out Room in SF a very special benefit for cancer:

"Festival '68"


We are dedicating this night in December (10th) to honor Vanessa's uncle, Len Lucero, who passed away in October. He had stage 4 cancer that eventually spread from his esophagus to his lungs and hip. On top of Len's medical expenses, his wife, broke her ankle 2 months ago causing her to miss a month's worth of work.

Please join us for this fundraiser in his honor with DJs and a band. This will be a fun event to celebrate Vanessa's uncle, spread some love, and remember it feels good to help others in need. It's going to be a fantastic night!
