(Frémeaux FA5396) is also a various artists collection – three CDs this time – looking at Jamaican music’s roots in shuffle and including both American and Jamaican rhythm and blues. There are plenty of instrumentals, 15 in all, with many hot horn blasters like Todd Rhodes’ “Page Boy Shuffle”, guitar workouts such as Lowell Fulson’s “Guitar Shuffle” and Johnny Otis’s incredible “Boogie Guitar”, and more specifically Jamaican (though still strongly blues-based) numbers including Count Ossie’s “ African Shuffle”
