Various - Cree Records: Sly & Robbie Present Taxi Gang In Discomix Style 1978 - 1987 (CD)
La section rythmique la plus célèbre de l'histoire du reggae.
Les sélections sur cette compilation démontrent exactement combien Lowell'Sly' Dunbar & Robert'Robbie' Shakespeare ont appris des racines du reggae, du rhythm & blues et de la soul américaine, et ces versions de chansons soul contemporaines et vintage montrent Sly et Robbie à leur meilleur sur les reprises de Little Willie John's Fever, Al Wilson's Show & Tell, Tony Joe White's Rainy Night In Georgia (couvert en soul par Brook Benton), The Delfonics' Don't Break Your Promise, The Impressions' You Must Believe Me, The Spinners' Could It Be It Be I'm Falling In Love et une paire de reprises de Marvin Gaye dans Sexual Healing et Inner City Blues. Tous sont chantés avec panache et sensibilité par les différents chanteurs et soutenus par des rythmes supérieurs, présentés ici avec des versions intégrales de Sly et Robbie. Depuis plus de quarante ans, ils ont tellement contribué au corps de la musique reggae qu'on peut vraiment les considérer comme sa colonne vertébrale. Sans Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare, il n'est pas exagéré de dire que le reggae n'aurait pas occupé une place aussi importante que dans la musique populaire ; qu'ils puissent continuer longtemps ?

Sly & Robbie
Robbie was a student and protégé of Aston ‘Family Man’ Barrett, the legendary bass player for The Hippy Boys, The Upsetters, The Aggrovators, and Bob Marley & The Wailers. They first met in the late sixties when Robbie’s brother, Lloyd, played occasionally with The Hippy Boys. He was given his first guitar, a six string acoustic model, by guitarist Ronnie ‘Bop’ Williams who advised him to take off two strings and to use it as a bass. But Robbie kept all six strings using the two extras for rhythm and his unique style was born. His first recording session was for Sonia Pottinger on Errol Dunkley’s You’ll Never Know in 1972. When 'Family Man' joined Bob Marley’s Wailers Robbie stepped up to become a fully fledged member of Bunny ‘Striker’ Lee’s Aggrovators. 'Family Man' could often not differentiate on playback whether it was Robbie or him playing and Robbie actually played the mesmerising bass line on Concrete Jungle for The Wailers’ breakthrough ‘Catch A Fire’ album.
Sly’s first recording session was for Ansel Collins in 1969 and the rhythm was used by Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry for Night Doctor, an organ instrumental that proved to be a sizeable hit in the UK reggae charts. A further foray into the studio with Ansel Collins provided the rhythm for Winston ‘Techniques’ Riley’s Double Barrel, an early deejay record from Dave Barker credited to Dave & Ansel Collins, which, after dominating the UK reggae charts, rose to the Number One position in the UK National Charts in 1971. He went on to join Skin, Flesh & Bones, a hugely influential session band, whose experiments with mixing and matching roots rock reggae with soul and disco beats presaged much of Sly & Robbie’s subsequent work. Sly moved on to The Revolutionaries, the house band for the Chinese Jamaican Hookim brothers at their legendary Channel One studio, whose innovative approach caused a seismic shift in Jamaican music. With The Mighty Diamonds’ Right Time they single-handedly created the ‘rockers’ era and the record provided a bandwagon which, for the next three years, the entire reggae business would leap aboard. His ‘militant’ double drumming was a huge influence on the Jamaican recording scene and every producer stepped forward with his variation of Sly’s stepping double drum sound.
The pair played together for the first time in 1976 on a session for the ubiquitous Bunny ‘Striker’ Lee at Channel One where Robbie soon joined the ranks of The Revolutionaries and the relationship between the Hookims and Sly and Robbie began to foster the long overdue rise of Jamaican musicians as stars in their own right. They continued to work for other producers too but, as the seventies drew to a close, the time was right for Sly & Robbie branch out on their own. Sly and guitarist Bertram ‘Ranchie’ MacLean had originally founded Taxi in 1972 but there were only ever a handful of releases on the label while Robbie’s rare forays into production were released on his Bar Bell label. The first big hit on the rejuvenated Taxi label came in 1978 when Soon Forward by Gregory Isaacs reached Number One in the Jamaican Hit Parade and there was no looking back…
The advent of the digital era in Jamaican music is usually credited to Prince Jammy’s production of Wayne Smith’s Under Me Sleng Teng towards the end of 1984 but Sly & Robbie were experimenting with syndrums and the Simmons electronic drum kit on tracks such as Junior Delgado’s Fort Augustus in 1979 and Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner by Black Uhuru in 1980. Computer technology would play an increasingly important role in Jamaican music as the eighties progressed and the pair was always to be found as far the forefront as was humanly (and digitally) possible without ever compromising their roots. Ever mindful of their musical history their innovations led to the breakthrough of what was then termed ‘ragga’ in 1993 when Tease Me from Chakademus & Pliers, built around The Skatalites’ Ball O Fire from 1965, reached Number Three in the UK National Charts...

Das ist als Tribut an die Wurzeln des Reggae zu verstehen - der frühe Reggae war noch stark von amerikanischem Soul beeinflusst - zu einer Zeit, in der das Genre längst eine eigenständige Musikform darstellte. Die Doppel-LP kommt auf 18o-Gramm-Vinyl im Klappcover und enthält ein zo-seitiges Booklet. *****
