Wright, Winston 'The Liquidator Strikes Back' LP

Winston Wright is the man who played that classic Hammond organ riff on the 1969 ‘Liquidator’ classic, as part of the Harry J Allstars, we might begin to appreciate his talents that bit more. But not only this, many 1970’s classics carry his organ, piano and arranging skills and even before that time, many tunes cut in the 1960’s,as part of Duke Reid’s house band Tommy McCook’s Supersonics, carried the Winston Wright signature sound
Winston Wright (b 1944 , Jamaica) began his musical career in the 1960s as a session player and soon became an integral part of the Treasure Isle Studio house band, that became known as Tommy McCook’s Supersonics . He played on many of the Rocksteady era hits that Duke Reid ruled the island with between 1966-1968.His mastery of the Hammond organ made him an in demand session player. One such was Harry J studio’s that had a massive hit in the UK in 1969 with ‘Liquidator’ as the Harry J Allstars of which Winston was a member. The same year saw him cut some great tunes as part of Clancy Eccles’ Dynamites
The 1970’s saw Winston Wright working closely with Dynamic Sounds Studios’ nucleus of musicians Cutting material for all the top producers of the time including numerous sides for Bunny ‘Striker’ Lee, which we have focused on for this set of tunes.

Adding his touches to many a fine rhythm as only Winston could we hope you enjoy the set.
