Rocksteady

Hot & Rich are Bob "Hot Dog" Ormrod and his son, Richard Ormrod. With over 50 years of musical experience between them, they play everything, from Traditional to Free Jazz, Blues, Ska, Reggae, Latin, Calypso, Mento & South African music. Their musical empathy, formed over 15 years of playing with now defunct bands, Skaville Train, Ska Bop and others, enables them to go into the studio, with little or no prior scores or arrangements, and play track after track of innovative and passionate music. The featured instrumentals were recorded over a two day session in December, 2003 and at a later session in 2004, at the Bijou Studio, Taunton, Somerset, GB. Hot & Rich played Alto, Tenor, Soprano & Baritone saxes, Clarinets, Bass Clarinet & Harmonica. The overall track style ranges from loose style, free-blowing Jazz influenced incarnations, on Sax and Harmonica, to more precisely orchestrated tracks. All instrument parts are played over original Jamaican recorded 1967/68 Rock Steady and early Reggae rhythms and all rhythms were supplied through the courtesy of Derrick Morgan O.D. All tracks have been re-mixed and re-mastered by Alien Dread & Top Beat, Summer 2014, at the recently fully refurbished A.D.studio, Nr. Exeter, GB.
