Here is my tribute to the great Trombonist Rico Rodriguez MBE and my version of his solo on Ghost town. Thanks to all that sent in photos and to Grippa Laybourne for the recording and Mixing, Jessie fuller for the video.

Emmanuel "Rico" Rodriguez MBE (17 October 1934 – 4 September 2015), also known as Rico, Reco or El Reco, was a Cuban-born Jamaican ska and reggae trombonist. Rodriguez was born in Havana, Cuba, and at an early age moved with his family to Jamaica. He grew up there in Kingston, and was taught to play the trombone by his slightly older schoolmate Don Drummond at the Alpha Boys School. In the 1950s, Rodriguez became a Rastafarian and was closely associated musically to the rasta drummer Count Ossie. He recorded with producers such as Karl Pitterson, Prince Buster, and Lloyd Daley. Rico moved to the Uk and settled in London where he worked with The Members, The Specials, Jools Holland, and Paul Young.
