Don Drummond - Dunisha (Instrumental)

Don Drummond - Dunisha - 1976 DEB Morpheus label 7"

Produced by Dennis Brown & Casto Brown

Don Drummond (1943 - May 6, 1969) was a famous ska trombonist and composer. He was one of the original members of The Skatalites, and composed many of their tunes.
Drummond was born in Kingston, JA 1943
His musical career began in the mid-1950s with the Eric Deans All-Stars. He continued into the 1960s with others, including Kenny Williams.
With the birth of ska Don joined The Skatalites. He became a household name in Jamaica, before suffering mental problems. He was rated by pianist George Shearing to be amongst the world's top five trombone players.
In 1965 he was convicted of the murder on January 1, 1965 of Anita "Margarita" Mahfood, an exotic dancer and singer. He was imprisoned at Belle Vue Asylum, Kingston where he remained until his death. The official cause of death was "suicide", but other theories remain; some of his colleagues believed it was a government plot against the Kingston musical scene, and some believed that he was killed by gangsters as revenge for the murder of Mahfood.
