Inner Circle featuring John Cipollina - The Orphanage, San Francisco CA 1975

Good day Kingstonians, here we have a special live recording from long time ago in FLAC format: a one-time Inner Circle collaboration with John Cipollina, enjoy! 

'Rather hesitant was John Cipollina, legendary West Coast guitarist, as he played his rosewood Telecaster (one of only 44 made) onstage with the Inner Circle. The band were into their third set, and were not an unfamiliar sight at the Orphanage. Riding into town on the wake of a triumphant visit by The Wailers, they found they had insufficient funds to return to their homeland, and had to play further gigs to raise the fare.

Merl Saunders had just left the stage in rather undignified fashion, having been introduced as 'Earl Saunders' and invited to play 'Puppet On A String', a feat to which he was definitely unequal. JC slunk onto the platform, plugged in discreetly and picked his way through a couple of undistinguished songs, before stepping out in fine style on 'I Shot The Sheriff'.

Roots Architects - From Then 'Til Now

Fruits Records 2024 FLAC

"Bringing together over 50 of Jamaica's greatest session musicians, whose work spans from the birth of reggae in the late 1960s until today, Roots Architects is the largest gathering of Jamaican musical talent on one all-instrumental album. Never before have so many veterans, who helped create the immortal rhythms that made reggae internationally successful, been assembled to play on new material without vocals. This album aims to celebrate and pay tribute to the unsung heroes of reggae music: the rhythm builders or Roots Architects.

The project is the brainchild of Swiss keyboardist and producer Mathias Liengme. In 2013, he travelled to Kingston, Jamaica, to produce The Inspirators project, an all-star album gathering Leroy ”Horsemouth” Wallace, Lloyd Parks, Earl ”Chinna” Smith and Sangie Davis, the four of them acting both as musicians and vocalists. This first experience in Kingston studio life paved the way to what would become the Roots Architects project. In February and March 2017 Mathias Liengme travelled for the fifth time to Kingston to record as many of reggae’s greatest living veteran musicians as he could. With the help of a few of these Architects like Robbie Lyn, Fil Callender or Dalton Browne, he managed to gather over 50 session musicians aged 60 to 85 on nine instrumental songs.

Roots Architects are legends back together in Kingston studios doing what they do best: creating instrumental music all together!"
