Jazzman Records presents a wild Carib-jazz flavored R&B gem flipped with a big and brash jump blues number from bandleader Chris Powell. "I Come From Jamaica" is an early exotic Rn'B jam, while "Country Girl Blues" is an Rn'B dancehall mover. Powell was busy in Philly through the late '40s and '50s, cutting a raft of jump sides and a number of big-band ballads for the Columbia, Okeh and Grand labels. Featuring the first known recorded work of jazz trumpeter Clifford Brown.
