Augustus Pablo, aka Horace Swaby, was a sort of Milton Jackson of reggae's
melodica, as proven with
Java (1969),
Iggy Iggy (1969),
East Of The River Nile (1969),
Lovers Mood, Hot And Cold, and many others.
Pablo played different keyboard instruments on his first milestone
recording, the instrumental album This Is Augustus Pablo (1973),
and perfected his style on Ital Dub (1975).
a collaboration with King Tubby
led to the hit Baby I Love You (1975) and the seminal album
King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown (1976), which is mostly devoted to
dub versions of Pablo's compositions.
East of the River Nile (1977) was probably is most daring sonic
experiment.
Subsequent productions, such as Earth's Rightful Ruler (1983),
which adds vocals to his instrumental textures, were relatively mediocre.
Jah Inspiration (Recall) is a double-disc anthology.
Pablo died in 1999.
