About Kingston All Stars:

2017 has seen the historic reunion of some of the most celebrated musicians in Jamaica, a stellar line up from the era when reggae first emerged into the global consciousness.

The Kingston All Stars are Sly Dunbar, Ansel Collins, Mikey “Mao” Chung, Linford “Hux” Brown, Jackie Jackson, Robbie Lyn, Everton & Everald Gayle. Under the artistic direction of Moss “ Mossman “ Raxlen, a multi-faceted musician, producer, engineer and writer, the KAS is releasing new recordings and performing live internationally. 

These are the musicians and session men who recorded at a variety of Jamaica’s legendary studios, and created so many of the classic rhythms from the 1960’s and ‘70’s – a countless number which have since become staples in a wide variety of today’s musical genres from hip hop to dancehall to dubstep and techno.

In various carnations, members of the group have been part of or recorded with Bob Marley’s Wailers Band, Studio One’s Sound Dimension and Soul Vendors Band, Lee “Scratch” Perry’s Upsetters, Peter Tosh’s Word Sound and Power Band, Toots and the Maytals, Now Generation and many more.

Internationally, beyond Jamaica, many of the musicians in the Kingston All-Stars have worked with the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, James Brown, Grace Jones, No Doubt, Paul Simon, Serge Gainsbourg, Paul McCartney, Herbie Hancock and many other rock, pop and jazz greats.

In 2017, The Kingston All-Stars will shine a light on some of Reggae’s hit sounds and rhythms of the past 40 years.

About Moss:

Mossman began collecting records, messing around in recording studios and d.j.ing around Montreal in the mid 90's.

In '97, he produced his first album, "Message In The Dub" &amp; started a recording studio in downtown. It lasted around 6 years & five records were recorded there.

In 2001, Moss decided it was time to start yet another new project, and began his own label " Dispensation ". With the release of his second album just a few months before 9/11 soon tinged with irony, " Mossman Vs. The World Bank ", was still received with international acclaim from fans and critics alike. After opening for a number of international artists at the Montreal Jazz Fest he started to d.j. regularly at events in N.Y.C. and Toronto.

2002 saw Raxlen working again with The Montreal Jazz Festival and legendary guitarist Lynn Taitt getting him 4 gigs at Jazz fest., including 4 gigs with Moss' own group and booking all the rest for the " Reggae / Dub " stage at the festival that year and soon off he went to Europe and North America for gigs and various music festivals.

The following year he released "Mossman vs. Tsunami" which got nominated for a number of music awards in Canada and again received with international acclaim.

In 2005 Moss released ( his first ) album "Message in the Dub" as well as producing Mossman Meets Vander" Montreal Dub Sound System " and began working with Lynn Taitt in his backyard studio on a Rocksteady, Ska and Reggae album. Moss took the time to travel to Jamaica twice in 2005 and now spends at least one month of every year there.

 Over the years hes worked with a number of Montreal music festivals, Ernest Ranglin, Albarosie, Kid Koala, Michael Rose of Black Uhuru, Maytones,and now is the manger for Stranger Cole plus d.j. and managing for Sister Nancy ( the worlds first female rapper! )

As of 2010 most of his work was on " Rocksteady: The Roots Of Reggae " a film / album project that he co-created and has received world wide acclaim. This project has cemented his reputation in the world of Jamaican music and to all the legends he was blessed to work with and continues to work for.
