Learn about Jamaican musical history by reading the amazing comic book series “Trombone Man: Ska's Fallen Genius”.

UK-based writer Adam Reeves is behind this awesome project that showcases the life of ska trombonist Don Drummond.

Reeves reached out and shared about Drummond’s important role incorporating the dawn of the sound systems in the late 1940s, the golden age of Jamaican jazz in the 1950s and the birth of ska and Jamaican independence in the 1960s. 

Love this creative way of bringing important music history to life!
