  • Now I truly know where Bendict Cumberbatch got his musical prowess from. He was an excellent arranger using interesting harmonies in each selection that he did. He made Antillean All stars stage side a wonderful musical band. Dave Achong had a battle on his hands similarly with West Side symphony. The two bands never met up to test their Metal in a blocko or hall enviroment. Panorama was the big stage, but Power and size of band belonged to Antillean. Spoke with Jimmy and he confirmed that the Spanish guy to the right of the Photo was he. The band then Changed their name to The Crescendoes.

    They were close to the then New Highway on the Eastern side in Chaguanas.

  • That's a young Jimi Phillip in the front line.
