Out and About - getting some reggae, mon

This week was a big hit of reggae.  I thought it was unfortunate that there were two "official" reggae stars playing on the same night.  Terry Gillespie brought one his regular collaborators when he's in Negril, Crystal Axe, whose family is considered a bit of reggae royalty - specifically "mento" music which is a pre-curser of reggae and ska.  She even did a little "dancehall" reggae at the Dakota Sports Bar in the west end (not to be confused with the Dakota on Ossington). The same night, there was a some great reggae down the street from me as part of the month-long Beaches Jazz. It was a tribute to "Studio One"with reggae legend Otis Gayle. As I found out, Crystal, Otis and Terry were doing some other Ontario dates together.  Otis kicks off the video clip, then the very tight Reggadiction follow by a bit of "dancehall" from Crystal and Terry and finally a little clip of Virgil, who was playing a home-made "hammered" guitar in the subway station
