1989-
The King King- located at 6th & La Brea in Los Angeles. That's where
Jump with Joey first met and performed with Jamaican saxophone titan
target="_blank"Roland Alphonso. It was the beginning of a close personal friendship that would last nearly a decade. Alphonso was a founding member and leader of the very first Ska band-
The Skatalites. Through Roland, I was introduced to the godfather of Jamaican music,
Clement "Sir Coxson" Dodd of
Studio One, and together we made a CD entitled "
Strictly For You Volume II"(1993).
The video below is from our first gig together at the King King and also features a guest appearance on baritone sax by
Angelo Moore of
Fishbone fame.
Roland Alphonso passed on in 1998 leaving a rich musical legacy. Jump With Joey disbanded a year later. May the memories live on!
