Background

'Musical Bones' differs in that it's almost single mindedly focused on Vin Gordon's extraordinary and emotive trombone playing throughout, with The Upsetters providing the rock solid reggae foundation that allowed Gordon to strut his jazzy improvisatory stuff on. Perry played it very straight as a producer here, his wide and unorthodox production tendencies are fully in check.
