Sonny Bradshaw: Music Jamaica, He Was There - 8742

Sonny Bradshaw: Music Jamaica – 'He Was There' chronicles the rich and often overlooked legacy of Jamaican musicians who made significant contributions to global music long before Bob Marley. Sonny Bradshaw: Music Jamaica – 'He Was There' explores the lives and achievements of artists like Leslie Hutchinson, Bertie King, and Ernie Ranglin, who influenced the British and European jazz scenes. Through Bradshaw’s personal experiences and deep musical insights, the book reveals how these pioneering figures laid the groundwork for Jamaica’s musical legacy, showing that the island's influence on global music stretches far beyond reggae. “…A truly outstanding performance and fitting testimony to the determination and genius of Mr. Bradshaw as an exemplary leader…Regardless of the invariable challenges which appeared from time to time, Sonny Bradshaw stuck to his mission, which was to ensure that the best of Jazz could be presented by our fine, talented instrumentalists, and heard by those with a discerning ear.” - P.J. Patterson, Prime Minister of Jamaica 1992 - 2006 Sonny Bradshaw gave us a chance to be the best of ourselves, to respect ourselves and our work. Jamaica had a good team member who did not stand on the sidelines, but made an impact. He was a principled person who shared all he knew that would help me to understand Jamaican musical history and how it developed “Brand Jamaica” to make a contribution to the world. - Michael Whyte, Broadcaster and Promoter
