SOLOMON JABBY REVIEW (THE BEAT MAGAZINE)
Sep. 13, 2005 - Here is a recent review featured in the latest issue of The Beat Magazine:
"Dub Revelator" Solomon Jabby's "Zion Gates" could easily make one assume he was some obscure Jamaican Rasta from 30 years ago. Actually, he's a present-day American Christian who recently relocated from Atlanta to Southern California. And like Ryan Moore of Twilight Circus he's a one-man dub dynamo who plays all the instruments, works all the knobs and switches and calls all the shots. His use of vintage equipment and instruments makes for a deep-roots dub sound that recalls the legends (Tubby, Perry, Pablo, et al.) and gives his evangelical leanings the same mystical air as any spiritually inclined reggae/dub figure. Cut from the same cloth as Jabby's earlier "Rootical Revelations" but even better, this one will appeal to dub lovers from now till the final trumpet. --Tom Orr
In March of 2005 Solomon moved to Los Angeles, CA to join the band Christafari (percussion and guitar), co-produce at Mohr's Zionic Sounds Dub Lab and work for GospelReggae.com. Solomon is currently writing songs for his third album -- his first primarily vocal release.
