	Ink 19 :: Ernest Ranglin
		I picked this record up because I know Ranglin as one of the greatest ska and reggae guitarists that ever lived.
		All the old-school ska and reggae guys started out playing jazz, so it's no surprise that Ranglin's more than capable of writing (he at least co-wrote all of the album's ten songs) and playing with the best jazz guitarists of the day.
		Ranglin's combo for this album includes several native African musicians, and their influence shows, as several of the tracks have distinctly African percussion and rythmic structure.

	Ernest Ranglin \| Gotcha!
		All of a sudden, Ernest Ranglin is moving out front to receive the recognition he has long deserved—and which he has long received from knowing fellow musicians—as a result of his signing with Telarc Records at the urging of his fellow native Jamaican and long-time friend, Monty Alexander.
		Ranglin finally received wide-scale distribution on his first Telarc release, Modern Answers To Old Problems, which combines the Afro-pop of Tony Allen, the jazz of Courtney Pine, the polyrhythmic percussiveness of Olalekan Babalola, the spirituality of singer Sylvia Tella's voice and the reggae of Ranglin.
		Ranglin toured the Caribbean with his bands and came to the attention of American audiences 30 years ago and yet remained under the radar screen of most listeners who enjoy ska and reggae.

	Ernest Ranglin: Surfin'
		Ranglin, who has been a mainstay of Jamaican music for more than forty years, has capitalized on his ability to play Carribean-influenced ska-beat with jazz-like solos throughout his lengthy career.
		Ranglin’s ability to make his exquisite guitar work sound effortless and fit into the music his band is playing speaks volumes about the collaborative, community-like nature of playing this kind of music.
		Ranglin is this music’s equivalent of Django or Charlie Christian.

	Ernest Ranglin: Surfin' - PopMatters Music Review
		Ernest Ranglin invented ska in the late 1950s, together with Coxsone Dodd and Cluett Johnson.
		Ranglin was in charge of the music on the first international reggae smash, "My Boy Lollipop", in the early 1960s.
		Ranglin pushes tiny clusters of notes together into chunky chords and slinky descending runs; as you might expect, it is all informed by the surf music of Dick Dale and the Surfaris, but there is also country music here, rhythm and blues, rock, and afrobeat in these riffs.

	Amazon.com: Modern Answers to Old Problems: Music: Ernest Ranglin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Ernest Ranglin is a grand old man of both jazz and Jamaican music, a creator of "world music" before the category existed, adding his bubbling guitar lines to the earliest ska and reggae recordings.
		The fluid inventiveness of guitarist extraordinaire Ernest Ranglin first reached beyond Jamaica with reggae's global insurgency in the mid-1960s and thereafter.
		Ranglin incorporates the lyrical wellspring of Afro-pop guitar styles, but this is essentially a jazz outing, given to extended improvisations, as in "Swaziland," complete with a witty "Reveille" quote by tenor saxophonist Denys Baptiste.

	Ernest Ranglin - Atomicduster Live Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Clutching a rather expensive steel strung acoustic instrument of his choice, Ernest proceeded to 'wow' those who were here to bear witness, with a set full of expert six-string mastery.
		Perhaps the most endearing part to Ernest Ranglin's set to night was his obvious satisfaction at being allowed to perform the music he held so dear, and upon leaving the stage for the first time commented on how much of "...an honor" it had been.
		Ernest Ranglin, born in Robin's Hall, Jamaica and with more than 5 decades as a jazz guitarist behind him, took full opportunity of the acoustic environment offered by De Montfort Hall tonight.

	SoundStage! Monty Alexander with Ernest Ranglin - Rocksteady
		By teaming Alexander up with Jamaican guitar legend (and old friend) Ernest Ranglin, Telarc allows these two musicians to dip their oars once again deep into the wellspring of inspiration that is their homeland, Jamaica.

		It allows Alexander and Ranglin to return to their musical roots, while spicing it up with all they’ve learned in the intervening years.

	SoundStage! Ernest Ranglin - Gotcha!
		A proponent of ska, reggae, and jazz, Ranglin has been combining those forms, along with Afro-Cuban, Latin and West Indian elements into his music for so long that should he ever record in just one style, audiences would think a new star had arisen fully formed from the primordial ooze that is music today.

	tropicmusic.com - Ernest Ranglin
		Ernest Ranglin is beyond doubt one of Jamaica's best and brightest stars.
		He was instrumental in creating the shuffle rhythm which exaggerated the 'jump beat' heard on New Orleans' R&B records of the Fifties that became known as Ska.

	Earth Tones - Charlie Hunter, Chinna Smith & Ernest Ranglin - Pandora Internet Radio
		T.J. Kirk was a fun band, but there was a bit of shtick involved: they brought an outgoing fusion sensibility (and a good bit of humor) to the music of Thelonious Monk, James Brown, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk.
		Hunter got together with legendary Jamaican guitarists Ernest Ranglin and Chinna Smith for an easygoing set of (mostly) covers that largely tread the kind of Jamaican-flavored jazz that Ranglin's been known for for years.
		Ranglin's fluid melodic lines contrast nicely with Smith, who makes some surprising yet wonderful note choices and wild intervalic leaps in his solos.

	Monty Alexander and Ernest Ranglin: Rocksteady - PopMatters Music Review
		I first saw the name of the guitarist Ernest Ranglin on one of the few label listings on which British schoolboys could find the then very rare blues 45.
		Ranglin is now very much the veteran performer, without perhaps having been the sort of boy wonder Monty Alexander once was.
		Ranglin is a very capable guitarist, but I can't say he's playing jazz here without recognising that he never solos for terribly long, or that he could equally be said here simply to play very long fill-ins.
