“Jamalski vs My Answering Phone” starts the mini-album off in this vein as a skit of nonsensical faux-Jamaican drawl before the slow-stepping reggae bass of “Flat Picker” begins and Romanowski’s rocksteady ambitions truly commence. The five pictures of Romanowski sporting Mickey Mouse ears on the record’s cover should suggest to even the least observant that ‘playful’ is one characteristic that could be attributed to both the man and his music.
For him, this project is both the realisation of a long-standing ambition and the opportunity to pay homage to the music of artists he’s found inspirational. Enter the “Steady Rocking Inna Jamaican Stylee” mini album…īest known for having played alongside DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist at the original Future Primitive Sound Session (the first Shadow/Chemist “Brainfreeze” performance), the Zurich-born painter/musician has been part of the ‘Frisco music scene for more than a decade. After ten years of appreciating the half-speed ska sound of rocksteady reggae, San Francisco resident Romanowski has decided it’s time for the world to hear his individual take on the genre.
