O’s Notes: GRASS is the Gowanus Reggae And Ska Society, a group of jazz musicians who coalesced around their love for reggae music. They share their enthusiasm with all interested parties in a movement that is growing. “Sumo” Granelli (b) and Nate “Natecha” Shaw (p) are the producers of the mostly Jamaican band. This album is a recreation of Bob Marley’s Catch A Fire. They capture the spirit and bring the Ferber into 2011 in a way that will appeal to reggae lovers and also expand the audience.
