JACKIE JACKSON THE REGGAE BASSISTS BASSIST 

What good news! It had been too long since last video

Fantastic to see you back Don, glad you’re keeping well

The hardest & sweetest bass line is Love is not gamble by the Techniques.A treasure isle records classic.Big Up!to Jackie Jackson 🇯🇲❤

Tracks like "Boom Boom Festival", "Draw Your Brakes", "Mr. Harry Skank", "Swing Easy", all taught me so much and started me following the original versions of so many riddims !

Glad youre back!

Some of my favourite B-lines ever right here. Jackie was brilliant. Moonlight Lover by Joya Landis .

Jackie Jackson's playing on Toots' "Funky Kingston" and "In the Dark" is as good as it gets! Another of my favorites of his is actually Paul Simon's "Mother and Child Reunion." It seems so technically simple, but it's hard to get the feel right!

Fire Burn🥳🥳🥳💥💥💥Welcome back Don....u are surely has been missed....

I always learn more about Reggae and reggae history from This man Don chandler beautiful bass lines

Oh yeah! Underrated bassist in my opinion and definitely my favorite. So many great lines, "Come on little girl" is a scorcher. And awesome to see you're back

Thank you, I Saw you performing with African headcharge, in Ghent , Belgium 2 weeks ago.. really nice to see my reggae bass teacher on stage.

Excellent surprise in my feed. Thanks for this! Welcome back!

Outstanding stuff Don! I play bass and sing in a rocksteady band here in California, and we do a couple of these great tunes. I'm so happy you mentioned Duke Reid and the Treasure Isle catalog, it ruled the rocksteady era until Coxsone/Studio One overtook it when JA music transitioned into reggae. Much of this decline was due to Reid's forbidding (for the most part) Rasta lyrics in his studio. But the Treasure Isle catalog, with the Techniques, Paragons, John Holt, U Roy, Alton Ellis, the Melodians etc. holds some of the greatest Jamaican music ever made. And of course the marvelous bass work of Jackie Jackson was key. Besides cracking the US charts with Desmond Dekker's "Israelites," Jackson also powered (along with the great drummer Winston Grennan) Paul Simon's worldwide reggae hit "Mother and Child Reunion." Simon wisely went to the source, recording at Dynamic Studio in Kingston with the cream of reggae musicians, which of course included Jackie Jackson. World of thanks again Don for making this video! btw is that shirt you're wearing available for sale?

Woohoo. I am so glad that you're back. 🎉❤ you are my favorite reggae bass teacher on RU-vid, you're super authentic and easy to follow. Let's practice! 🎸

When I was starting out playing, i realized that the real teachings were in those old school tunes and so I absorbed Jackie Jackson, Boris Gardiner, Bagga Walker, Fams, Flabba and Robbie. I consider that transition into rockers to be crucial also in understanding the tecbnjque and articulation and they are my signature now.

Great video! The studio 1 video was awesome too. Would love to see some Justin Hinds in a sequel

Merci de France,ami bassiste!!!

You are back!!! Please keep on sharing your great videos.

Yay! Glad youre back.

Many people just don't know that before Aston Family Barrett, we had the FOUNDATION SKA & REGGAE Bassist Jackie Jackson

Great channel, where have you been? I’ve missed this lads wisdom Riddum 🆙

Well done, thanks ! I've been a huge fan since the owning the Treasure Island Time double album and then the Trojan box set, such a great bassist ! I especially love his sense of movement, his subtle variations and how they propel the song.

Big up Don. Good to see you back. Quick question - Have you ever played with the band African Head Charge?

Great content as always, Don! Huge thanks! :)

Hail up brother, I'm wondering if you can do a bass tutorial of your video backing track( are you ready for love by Morgan Morgan Heritage) BIG UP AND THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO! ✌🏿

👏👏👏👏👏

Yo bredren I been working up a Shakespeare set , solo live bass, Sly on my computer. I beat match with an Akai for 808 club thump. I’ve been working on Pharaoh Plague./Yabi You, I’d appreciate another look at it… during the breakdown into the intro pattern with the F octaves , then the E octave pedal to the low E , then I hear it coming back right to the F …don’t hear the C that you describe Having a similar issue with the main riddim, the resolution to the A flat minor is fairly underwhelming and pitchy is it perhaps E to C? Welcome back
