Michael Chapman - Fully Qualified Survivor.
New U Roy album from Zak Starkey’s Trojan Jamaica project now sadly released posthumously. Also a sad parallel with Toots Hibbert who’s last fine album was also recorded and released from Trojan Jamaica at the time of his passing.
RIP & Respect due Ewart Beckford aka U Roy

This fabulous lutenist, now teaching at Berne University, here revisits some of the old masters, Dowland, Johnson, Huwet and so on.
“Some will be angry, others will laugh. [However] There are many orphaned lute pieces in English sources that have come down to us with no name at all. I have taken the liberty of christening four such pieces in this program with names that seem to suit their musical spirits.”
