Ernest Ranglin

Ernest Ranglin is a solo artist associated with Jamaica whose catalog here spans 1998–2010. The artist is connected with Calypso and Swing, so genre, period and individual recordings offer useful ways into the work.

Listen for how Calypso and Swing shape rhythm, voice and arrangement. A starting path includes “Haayo”, “Stop That Train”. Then move to “In Search of the Lost Riddim” and “Party Jazz” to hear how recordings are organized in a release context.
