Brigadier Jerry
b. Robert Russell, 28 September 1957, Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies. Now considered one of the most influential Jamaican DJs of the 80s, it is surprising to learn that Brigadier Jerry (aka Briggy) made such an impact mainly through sound tapes (live recordings of sound system dances). He is without equal as a lyrical improviser, despite the relative rarity of his recordings.
