"...Wayne writes well for the orchestra... ...rhythms are varied and not omnipresent... ...his gifts for lyricism and invention are real... "
Album Description
As idiomatically specific as the Minuet, Waltz or Two-Step, Reggae's double-time/single-time identity where the downbeat supplants the back beat, has grabbed its place in music. Jamaican in origin, this rock music with its blues style, often has a political message. As I got deeper into its processes, I not only felt its lightness of being, but its limitless ability to tranform anything to sit on its rhythmic ostinato.
