"It was during sessions at Producers Workshop in Hollywood that film composer Joseph Vitarelli introduced me to “The Father of Reggae,” Joe Higgs, and I became his bassist for several years. Joe was the greatest singer I have ever known and had a huge influence on me. When we were playing, Joe seemed to be able to feel everything at once, onstage and in the audience. He was a living musical barometer."   --Stephen Jay  (Bassist / Multi Instrumentalist)
