Bill Laswell has worked closely with many of the greatest names in Reggae: Sly and Robbie, Lee Scratch Perry and many others. A Dub Master Supreme, he turns his fabulous creativity to the classic Tzadik release Feast of the Passover. Featuring some of the greatest Passover seder songs, it is perhaps David Solid Gould’s most varied and spiritually inspired projects. Connecting the Rasta and Jewish traditions through the miracle of music, Laswell’s imaginative dubs are the perfect background to anyone’s 21st century seder. Moody, atmospheric and essential
