Sleeve : LP "Augustus Pablo Meets King Tubby At The Control: In Roots Vibes". Photographer : Unknown
Horace Swaby aka Augustus Pablo is probably best known for his melodica playing, although he actually started his career as a session pianist for Coxsone Dodd. His experimenting with the melodica led to a new sound in reggae music, which almost immediatedly became very popular. Beyond doubt Augustus Pablo was of great influence on the development of reggae music, not only as melodica/keyboards player but also as a producer. Augustus Pablo died in 1999.
