Monday 8/29: David Hillyard & the Rocksteady 7 – Plague Doctor

Let’s kick off this last week of August with one more good summer soundtrack album, shall we? How about some Jamaican ska and Brazilian rhythms from this baker’s dozen or so of jazz musicians. Saxophonist David Hillyard leads the group in covers from Brazilian composers like Seu Jorge and Joao Donato, and originals inspired by the likes of John Coltrane, Lester Young, and The Skatalites.
