Breezing Riddim – Splash

Breezing Riddim was produced by Lloyd Charmers for Splash in 1972, and this two-track set pairs Mikey Chung and The Now Generation’s Breezing with The Now Generation’s Breezing Version. The cut captures Charmers working with his own Splash imprint and the Now Generation crew, a band that included key Jamaican session players like Mikey Chung and became closely tied to his early-1970s productions. With just the vocal side and its version, the release keeps the focus on the groove and the arrangement rather than a long artist list, which is what gives this short archive piece its appeal.
