Winston Wright is another unsung hero from the Jamaican musical canon. Although many might not know his name, you will have heard him on many records.
If we tell you that he played the classic Hammond organ riff on "Liquidator" as part of the Harry J Allstars, I'm sure you'll be sitting up and taking notice.
Winston Wright began his musical career in the 1960s as a session player and soon became an integral part of the Treasure Isle Studio house band, that became known as Tommy McCook's Supersonics.
The 1970s saw Winston Wright working closely with Dynamic Sounds Studios' nucleus of musicians Cutting material for all the top producers of the time including numerous sides for Bunny 'Striker' Lee, which we have focused on for this set of tunes. From 1975 onwards Winston Wright was a member of Toots and the Maytals' touring band, but we celebrate here his mighty fine studio work. Adding his touches to many a fine rhythm as only Winston could we hope you enjoy the set.
