The Gorgon, The Originator, and The Dub Master
During the last 60 years, Jamaican music has constantly reinvented itself, a handful of innovators pioneering distinct musical genres such as ska, rock steady, reggae and dancehall, as well shorter-lived subgenres.\n\nBut Jamaica's musical trendsetters did much more than just shake up the island's music scene. At crucial intervals, their inventiveness has dramatically changed or even spawned a range of popular forms overseas\u2014sewing seeds for rap via the deejay style and stimulating remix culture through dub.\n\nIn "The Gorgon, The Originator and The Dub Master," producer David Katz leads a tour of indelible changes brought about by producer Bunny "Striker" Lee, Deejay U Roy and the engineer and sound system owner, King Tubby, to demonstrate how they changed popular music worldwide.\n\nAll photos \xa9David Katz.\n\nProduced by David Katz.\nAPWW #841
