BOOK LAUNCH Brighton 25-04-24

I AM VERY PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE LAUNCH OF

THE DON DRUMMOND STORY

TROMBONE MAN – Ska’s Fallen Genius

by Adam Reeves, Illustrated by Constantinos Pissourios

MEET THE AUTHOR ADAM REEVES AT THE ROSE HILL, ROSE HILL TERRACE, BRIGHTON BN1 4JL

Please come along to the launch night for Trombone Man: Ska’s Fallen Genius, my comic book series about the life and times of Jamaican trombonist Don Drummond at the Rose Hill, Brighton, UK, Thursday 25th April, 7.30pm -11.30. Free entry.

If you can’t make the event in person, you are welcome to join via Zoom from anywhere in the world. Just PM me and I’ll send you the details.
I will be sharing my story of my journey into the world of comics creation, with a live link-up with US ska historian Heather Augustyn and the comic’s illustrator Constantinos Pissourios from his eco house up in the mountatins of Cyprus.
Issue #1 sees young Don running wild on the streets of Kingston in the 1940s and finding himself on the wrong side of the law. Placed by the courts into the strict care of Roman Catholic nuns at Alpha Boys School, an entire new life beckons as the head of music, Sister Ignatius, recognises a spark of genius in him.
Mixing fact, social history and magic realism, Trombone Man brings to life the world of Jamaica from the 1940s through to the birth of ska in the1960s…

AT THE ROSE HILL, ROSE HILL TERRACE, BRIGHTON, BN1 4JL

7.30PM TO 11.30PM

  • Trombone Man: Ska’s Fallen Genius will be essential reading for anyone with a passion for Jamaican music and an interest in the birth of ska and reggae. For fans of Drummond’s band the Skatalites especially this will be a must-have collector’s series. 
  • Beyond this, it is about the origins of a sound that has changed music forever. Every modern bass-heavy music, from hip-hop to house, from drum ‘n’ bass to techno, from garage to grime – it all has its origins in reggae and Jamaican soundsystem culture. And the story begins with the Skatalites and the birth of ska! For anyone interested in the genesis of bass culture and dance music, this is a crucial foundation stone. 
  • For comics lovers who like true life, powerfully emotional stories, this is for you. Its a tale of the exploitation and marginalisation of a genius and his descent into mental illness – but also a story of his redemption through music and one man’s determination to make his music be heard.

THIS BOOK IS REALLY BRILLIANT AND YOU NEED TO READ MORE THAN ONCE TO APPRECIATE THE DEPTH OF ADAM’S CHARACTERS AND THE HISTORICAL SETTING OF WORLD WAR 2, DURING THE BATTLE FOR THE CARIBBEAN. GET YOUR COPY AND ASK FOR ADAM’S AUTOGRAPH.  I BELIEVE WE’RE GOING HAVE A GREAT EVENING WITH FANTASTIC MUSIC.  DON’T MISS IT!!!

If you’re a ska and reggae fan, a comics fan or maybe you just love a good story, I think you’ll enjoy my musings and ramblings. I passionately share my journey as a first time comic creator, with exclusive sneak peeks of the comic’s evolution. You’ll also get to know details of our next crowdfund campaign as we prepare to raise funds for the next issue in the series. If its not your bag, you can unsubsuscribe at any time and I promise I won’t be offended!
