Aswad
Aswad formed in 1975 in West London's Ladbroke Grove and built
their early reputation on four LP's spanning 1976's eponymous
debut to 1982's Not Satisfied (plus singer Brinsley
Forde's spectacular performance in 1980s gritty reggae flick, Babylon).
But it was the Live And Direct album, their 1983
performance at the Notting Hill Carnival, that captured the then
trio - Forde, Tony 'Gad' Robinson and Angus 'Drummie Zeb' Gaye -
at their sunny best, delivering a greatest hits set backed by a
blistering horn section featuring legendary soul trumpeter Eddie
'Tan Tan' Thornton.
