Trombonist out of the Alpha Boys School tradition, nicknamed "Don Drummond Junior" at Studio One where he inherited the master's chair. His horn runs through foundational Studio One sides, Wailers sessions of the 1970s and decades of touring since — one of the longest continuous careers in Jamaican brass.
