The man died Thursday in Jamaica.
His last performance and perhaps the last Skatalites show ever was in Lima, Peru on march.
Here is a video from that show
RIP Mr Knibb!
you will be missed!

@Junior: That's Doreen Shaffer and she's still doing fine. Saw her backed by the moon invaders a year ago, nice show!
Btt, very sad news! Thanks Lloyd for the beautiful music you gave us. You and the other Skatalites will not be forgotten among music fans all around the world - originators!

A great drummer...I'm happy I could see him once.
Lloyd Brevet (although he stopped playing live with the Skatalites) and Lester Sterling (alto sax) are the only original members still alive...
I was talking once to the drummer of the NewYorkSkaJazzEnsemble, a huge guy I think born in Congo, he talked about a gig they did with the Skatalites and about Knibb and how great the guy was, "he plays harder than me!!!!"
Thanks for the music. RIP
