Lynn Taitt, the Jamaican guitarist who played with nearly every reggae legend and the man widely credited with creating the very first rocksteady bassline, has died in Canada at the age of 70. A Trinidadian by birth, Taitt had no problem making Jamaica his home, where his musical career eventually came into full bloom. In addition to playing with major ska and early reggae groups like the Skatalites and the Sheikhs, he founded his own group, Lynn Taitt and the Comets, in the mid 1960s.
Though many will certainly remember him for his uniquely virtuosic guitar style and his groundbreaking contribution to rocksteady, Taitt will perhaps best be known for the work he did to help globalize reggae, and spread it beyond Jamaica's borders. As musicologist Roger Steffens told the Jamaica Observer, Taitt "will be remembered by historians as one of the major contributors to the internationalization of reggae, particularly for his work in spreading the music in Canada." Broadcaster Bunny Goodison remembers him more simply, calling him unquestionably "the baddest."

3. Quite a sad news to hear that Lynn is no more with. I have listened to tapes of Lynn's playing with Bob Marley & Montreal Ska All Stars at Montreal Festival and it was just amazing.
May his soul rest in peace.
