Cedric ‘Im’ Brooks & The Light of Saba – The Light of Saba is a long-overdue reissue of a foundational roots recording, unavailable for decades. Originally released over half a century ago, it captures the singular vision of Jamaican saxophonist and flautist Cedric ‘Im’ Brooks, whose work bridged Rastafarian rhythms, modal exploration and devotional expression.
A key figure in groups including The Mystic Revelation of Rastafari and The Skatalites, Brooks channels that lineage here with The Light of Saba, blending hypnotic instrumentation with spiritual intensity. The result is a richly layered session that sits at the crossroads of roots, reggae and ceremonial music, and remains a touchstone for listeners drawn to the deeper end of Jamaican sound.
