Jackson, Rzee
Row Fisherman Row
Rzee Jackson, also known by his stage names Esso Jaxxon and Castro Pink, has been a transformative figure in the reggae music scene, both in Jamaica and Canada. Leroy Sibbles, the lead singer of The Heptones, recognized Jackson's talent and brought him into the Ital Groove Band, where Jackson sang harmonies, played Gong Bap/Congos, and engineered. The Ital Groove Band became one of Canada's most prolific reggae bands, with Jackson touring extensively. On this Jamwax release, you will play two standout tracks from the 'New Beat' album, originally released in the mid-'80s in Canada on Ossie Records, the label owned by Oswald Creary.
