Jahmings Maccow & E-Rif, New Way (© 1999 Liquid Cyber Recordings)
Far be it from me to call myself a know-it-all, and when it comes to reggae, well, it's probably a category on Jeopardy where I wouldn't win too much cash. Yet there's something calming about that reggae beat, the chinking of the guitar chords on the 2 and the 4, that just relaxes you. Jahmings Maccow, who has been around in various shades and forms since the late '70s, offers a disc that isn't full-blown reggae either, with some R&B, jazz, even hip-hop inflections and nuances, all popping up here and there. There are some beautiful moments with female backing vocals as well, as on the title track, for instance. And, who knows, maybe reggae purists will scoff at the various styles here, but hey, I like it. It calms me, and if you want to chill a bit, trow da disc on mon. www.rebelsproduction.com
September 1, 2002, by Bill Ribas Splendid E-Zine Born on the island of Anguilla, Jahmings Maccow has spent a considerable portion of his life wading in music. This CD is a rerelease of a cassette-only album, padded with four new tunes. Maccow synthesizes reggae, R&B, new wave and a bit of jazz into a modern day interpretation of distinctively rasta-friendly rhythms that can effectively speak to a wider audience. While the traditional reggae sounds will please any roots fan with their familiarity, Maccow also takes a few daring genre bending plunges that will be received differently by each listener, depending on specific acquired tastes. Jahmings introduces everything from guitar solos to bluesy harmonica to soulful crooning with agreeable results. New Way initially looks like something that you'd find in the bargain bin of your local used CD store, but a careful inspection of its contents shows that Maccow's progressiveness produces some true gems that are well worth unearthing. -- am |
