Blow Mr Hornsman Instrumental Reggae – Trojan Records Overview

Roots instrumental reggae is driving the sound forward today, powered by deep basslines and steady drum rhythms. The vibe is strong and hypnotic, making it perfect for both listening and dancing. Horn sections and keyboards add rich layers, giving each track a timeless feel. The instrumental style allows the music’s spirit and energy to shine through, connecting with listeners at every event. Key artists have shaped this sound. Augustus Pablo & Herman's Allstars created the classic “East Of The River Nile,” a track known for its haunting melodica and deep roots groove. Carl 'Cannonball' Bryan delivers standout performances on “Jumping Jack” and “Run For Your Life,” both showing his skill as a saxophonist. Herman's Allstars are behind “Nightmare,” a song that highlights their tight instrumental work. Jo Jo Bennett With Mudie’s Allstars bring a soulful touch with “Leaving Rome.” Joe Gibbs Allstars add their mark with “Franco Nero Version 2” and “Ghost Capturer,” both favorites among collectors and selectors. Producers play a big role in this music’s success. For example, Joe Gibbs, a well-known Jamaican producer, was key in shaping the sound of Joe Gibbs Allstars. His studio was a hub for top reggae musicians and helped many instrumentals reach wider audiences. Today, these roots instrumentals are heard at roots reggae events, sound system sessions, and parties worldwide.
