JACKIE MITTOO - Champion In The Arena, Blood & Fire

Okay, a couple of weeks back we advised circumspection - when a somewhat rush-released Mittoo comp looked to steal Blood & Fire's thunder. Fear not - the deluxe edition is here - even if you've got the Soul jazz retrospective or better, some originals, this should still be essential as well. Mittoo just stands as one of those key figures, a session guy whose instrumental visions not only backed up the entire catalogue of reggae from The Skatalites right on through, but as a leader in his own right, versioning popular tunes, making them his own and spontaneously, jazz-style, improvising a stream of riddims, many of which are used to this day. Eight tracks rest in common with the inferior Attack release, "Drum Song", originally a John Holt b-side, and the root of a legion of riddims, remains unmatchable.What's more, there's two cuts to 'Death In The Arena', killer instrumental version of 'Death trap', Sly, Robbie, Skully, Chinna and Winston Wright on the 76-77 session, recorded at Harry J's Dynamic and Channel One, Bunny Lee production and nuff evidence of the superior influence of a King tubby's mix. Cornerstone music.
