Winston Jarrett a Lenda.

Winston Jarrett "The Reggae Legend"

Winston Jarrett was born in 1944 in Lime Tree Gardens in the parish of Saint Ann, Jamaica. He moved to Trenchtown where he met Alton Ellis who recruited him and Eggar Gordon (Baby Gee) and formed Alton & The
Flames. The Flames did a number of early classics like ‘Cry Tough,’ ‘Dance Crasher,’ ‘The Preacher’, and ‘I Have Got A Date.’ The Flames were recording for Duke Reid, but were lured away by Sir Coxsone. Alton moved to
England in 1969 and Winston reformed the group as The Righteous Flames. In addition to 17 albums and dozens of solo and compilation recordings (see discography) , Winston backed up Ken Boothe, Marcia Griffiths and Winston Francis. He also worked with Enid Cumberland and Larry Marshall. Winston recorded over a hundred titles during the early seventies for Joe Gibbs and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry among others. On ‘Zion’ and other Perry productions, he is joined by Danny Clarke, and the Meditations. Winston also produced a string of fine releases on his own Attra, Human Rights and Humble labels. In The late 70’s he cut fine albums for Brent Clarke (‘Kingston Rock’), Roy Cousins (‘Wise Man’), and two co-productions with Tony Shabazz (‘Man Of The Ghetto’ and ‘Ranking Ghetto Style’). Studio One released Crucial Times as part of it’s 50th Anniversary celebrations. Produced by Coxone Dodd, this album shows once again why this man from Trenchtown is still a reggae legend. Actually with 62 years old, the legend is back with the double CD called Winston Jarret and The Righteous Flames "Survival Is The Game", released in 2005 on Young Tree Records label. The result is a true masterpiece with a total of 36 classic songs, from the immortal 1969 classic "Up Park Camp" to "Too Many Boundaries" from 1995, also 5 unreleased songs and 9 songs for the very first time on CD.
