Don Drummond – Don D Special / Fidel – C And N Records Rare Ska Single
C And N Records 2013 – DSR 017 A
notes:
Few musicians have shaped the sound of Jamaican ska like Don Drummond.
Known as one of the founding members of The Skatalites, Drummond's
expressive trombone playing helped define the golden era of Jamaican
music during the early 1960s.
Among his lesser-known recordings is "Don D Special / Fidel", released on
C And N Records. Although not as widely recognized as some of his Studio
One classics, this single showcases Drummond's unmistakable trombone tone,
rich arrangements, and melodic creativity.
credits:
Probable session musicians
Although no session sheet survives, these recordings belong to the classic
Studio One ska period when the house band was essentially the early The Skatalites.
tracklist:
A Don D Special
B Fidel
