DESCRIPTION:
Recorded at the Creative Production Training Centre in Kingston, Jamaica. The Jamaican guitar/vocal trio, Jakoostik performs the classic song by Toots Hibbert, "Sweet & Dandy". It features Wayne Armond on lead vocals with Seretse Small and Donald Waugh harmonising and with Donald playing a guitar solo.
Jakoostik came as the result of a feature on the last of each Calabash literary festival where a group of respected Jamaican musicians were asked to present and interpret classic Jamaican songs as literature. At first the group was known as the Calabash Acoustic Ensemble and then it was known as the Jakoostik Music Ensemble, now it is just Jakoostik.
Jakoostik's mission is to bring the catalogue of classic Jamaican songs to life through acoustic performances and arrangements energized by the spirit of improvisation.
The album "Jakoostik Vol 1. Is available for download at http://www.griotmusic.com/jakoostik and http://www.jakoostik.bandcamp.com/album/jakoostik-vol-1
