Keyboard virtuoso Jackie Mittoo was among the true
legends of reggae -- a founding member of the
Skatalites and an extraordinarily prolific
songwriter, he was perhaps most influential as a
mentor to countless younger performers, primarily
through his work as the musical director at the
famed Studio One. Born Donat Roy Mittoo in Browns
Town, Jamaica on March 3, 1948, he began playing
keyboards at the age of four, and was rarely far
from a piano through his teen years, performing
professionally in groups including the Vagabonds
and the Vikings. He frequently skipped school to
play with the house band at nearby Federal
Studios, and it was there that he met producer
Coxsone Dodd, who recruited Mittoo for recording
sessions when the scheduled pianist failed to
appear on time. While attending Kingston College,
he began jamming with fellow student Augustus
Pablo, and they eventually formed a trio -- the
Jackie Mitree -- which performed his original
compositions.
By 1962, Mittoo was earning attention across the
island for his work in the band the Sheiks, one of
Jamaica's most sought-after club attractions.
Despite rechristening themselves the Cavaliers
Orchestra, their popularity continued to soar
without missing a beat. When Dodd opened Studio
One in Kingston in 1963, he tapped Mittoo to serve
as musical director; in the years to follow he
played on virtually every disc the studio
produced, arranging much of the material and
helping develop new songs until they were
sufficiently polished to meet standards. By the
early months of 1964, he set about forming a new
band with Studio One session regulars Tommy
McCook, Lloyd Brevette and Lester Sterling, as
well as the Cavaliers' Lloyd Knibb and Johnny
Moore. Dubbing themselves the Skatalites, they
were to become the quintessential ska band of the
period; also featuring the legendary trombonist
Don Drummond, the group lasted just 14 months --
from June 1964 to August 1965 -- but their
influence on music worldwide remains incalculable.
After the Skatalites split, Mittoo began a solo
career, scoring a major hit with his rendition of
the Heptones "Fatty Fatty." The instrumental smash
"Ram Jam" followed in 1967, and resulted in a
series of instrumental LPs, among them In London,
Evening Time, Keep On Dancing, Now and Macka Fat.
At the same time, Mittoo continued his relentless
pace at Studio One -- according to the terms of
his basic arrangment with Dodd, he received
payment upon delivering five new rhythms a week,
which over the years resulted in literally
thousands of compositions which he both produced
and arranged. Among Mittoo's greatest
contributions of the mid-to-late 1960s were
"Darker Shade of Black" (the basis for Frankie
Paul's "Pass the Tu Sheng Peng"), Freddie
McGregor's "Bobby Babylon," Alton Ellis' "I'm
Still in Love with You," the Cables' rock steady
anthem "Baby Why" and "Feel Like Jumping," Marcia
Griffiths' first hit. In 1970, his "Peanie Wallie"
was also versioned by the Wailers, becoming the
hit "Duppy Conqueror."
Mittoo relocated from Jamaica to Toronto, Ontario
in 1968, one of many reggae performers who found a
home among the clubs lining the city's Yonge
Street area. He returned to Kingston regularly,
however, and was closely aligned with Dodd and
Studio One throughout the decades to follow. In
Toronto, Mittoo also accepted a day job working
for the Canadian Talent Library, an organization
which worked to ensure that a sufficient amount of
Canadian music was broadcast over national radio
airwaves. By 1972, he had lived there for four
years, and as such his work now qualified as
"Canadian content," so for the CTL he recorded the
album Reggae Magic, which launched the hit 'Wish
Bone." During the mid-1970s, Mittoo also traveled
to England to record a series of LPs with Bunny
Lee; during the next decade, he worked regularly
with Sugar Minott as well. In 1989, Mittoo joined
the reunited Skatalites, but health problems soon
forced him to bow out; he died of cancer on
December 16, 1990. -- Jason Ankeny, allmusic.com
