“Jamaican Memories by the Score”
Dwight Pinkney
is beyond a shadow of a doubt one of the most gifted reggae guitarists in the
world today. His work is a perfect synthesis of sensitivity and timing, feeling
and precision. The balance is almost impossible to maintain, but for Dwight, it
comes naturally.
