Clive Hunt’s Blue Lizzard is the first reggae instrumental album of its kind to come out of Jamaica since the heyday of Channel One and Joe Gibbs’ studios in the late 1970s and Rico Rodriguez’s influential Man From Wareika.

The album features original compositions and several classic adaptations, all arranged by Clive ‘Azul’ Hunt, aka Lizzard, the veteran producer of The Abyssnians, Bullwackies, Beres Hammond, Jah9, Richie Spice, and the acclaimed We Remember Dennis Brown. The multi-generational roster of musicians contributing to the sessions included Dean Fraser, the late Bobby Ellis and Nambo Robinson, Robbie Lyn, Bubbler Waul, Wayne Armond, Squidley Cole, Kirk Bennett, and Clive Hunt, among others. Social media will include promotion of contextual video interview with Clive Hunt, recorded at his home near Linstead, Jamaica. Releases follow Max Romeo’s Revelation Time; and new albums from Jah9 (Note To Self) and Richie Spice (Together We Stand), all including Clive Hunt’s production work. Targeted digital campaign will reach outside of core reggae audience to include fans of instrumental and horn-driven music, including jazz
