| Performance 7 | Sound 7 |
Noted
jazz pianist Monty Alexander goes back to his Jamaican roots in this
interesting team-up with ultimate reggae rhythm section Sly Dunbar and
Robbie Shakespeare. The result is a pleasant fusion of jazz and reggae
with dub overtones, but one with some limitations, both musical and
technical.

Jackson’s Thriller is the defining album of mainstream pop music in the
1980s. Produced by the legendary Quincy Jones, Thriller literally wrote
a new playbook for what it takes to create a great pop record from then
on. To this day, Thriller stands as the largest-selling pop record of
all time, with over 47 million copies sold, although Jackson’s fall
from popularity (to put it politely) has allowed country singer Garth
Brooks to take over the title of “the best-selling artist of all time.”
