from allmusic.com:
One of the most prolific session players of Jamaica's pre-ska era,
trombonist Rico Rodriguez later emerged as a catalyst behind the UK's
2-Tone movement of the late 1970s, recording both as a solo artist and
as a member of the legendary Specials. Born October 17, 1934, his musical
pursuits began while attending Kingston's Alpha Cottage School, an
institution for wayward boys, where he studied trombone under the legendary
Don Drummond. In the years to follow, Rodriguez emerged as one of Jamaica's
most highly regarded session musicians, often working under the direction
of the renowned producer Duke Reid. In 1961, in the months prior to the
explosion of the ska phenomenon, he relocated to the UK, where he recorded
a number of sides for the fledgling Island label and gigged extensively on
the jazz and R&B circuits, playing with Georgie Fame's Blue Flames and
others. He also remained a top-notch session man, appearing on Sugar &
Dandy's 1967 classic "A Message to You Rudy," among others.
Despite maintaining a permanent residence in Britain, Rodriguez held fast
to his strong Rastafarian beliefs, and Island frequently paid for him to
return to Kingston to record with the city's most prominent session players;
while his forte remained jazz, he adapted brilliantly to any environment,
and applied his improvisational skills to productions from notables
including Sly & Robbie. In 1977, Rodriguez also cut a solo LP, Man from
Wareika, credited to simply "Rico; " it was followed a year later by
Midnight in Ethiopia. In 1979, he appeared on the Specials' cover of
"A Message to You Rudy," and soon joined the band as a full-time member;
for the group's 2-Tone label, Rodriguez also helmed his own outfit, Rico
and the Rudies, to yield the albums Blow Your Horn and Brixton Cat. Again
as Rico, he also cut another pair of solo LPs, 1981's That Man Is Forward
and its 1982 follow-up Jama. Session work was then primary focus for over
a decade, but in the mid-1990s Rodriguez returned with a number of solo
projects, among them 1995's Roots to the Bone and 1997's Tribute to Don
Drummond.
