Playlist
My Alpha PLaylist invites special guests with a unique perspective on the music to share Alpha's impact on their personal journey.
WHERE IT ALL STARTED
"The Alpha Boys School had the best musicians around. Just listen to Deadly Headley's solo on my dad's first ever recording in 1962, 'Judge Not'."
Deadley Headley
Just a couple months ago, "The Right Path" was included on the Higher Education vinyl LP. I was fortunate to have a wicked Alpha horn section: Everald Gayle (trombone), Tafane Buschaecab (tenor) and Stingwray (trumpet).

TRUST YOUR MOTHER'S INTUTION
In the early 80s, heavy roots was the name of the game, led by bands like Black Disciples. With Alpha grads Bobby Ellis (trumpet), Horsemouth (drums), Vin Gordon (trombone), Glen Dacosta (tenor) and even Cedric Brooks on tenor, Who Feels It Knows It got a who's who of Alpha musicians.

ALPHA, THE NEXT GENERATION
"I couldn't have won the Grammy without Feluke bringing the vibes on percs, Nicholas Laraque's saxophone melodies and Stringwray hitting those notes on his trumpet."

FOREVER CLASSICS
Both Exodus and Kaya were recorded in London at the same time. The entire band was from Jamaica including an all Alpha horn section. Vin Gordon, Trombone. David Madden, trumpet. And Glen Dacosta, tenor. The rest is history. Or rather, they made history.
