THE BLACK EMERALDS

The Black Emeralds serve as the Jandisc Records house band, supplying each release with rhythms that aim to capture the foundational sound from Reggae’s golden era.  At the core of the band is drummer Jason “Cool Breeze” Castillo, percussionist Salina Cano, and producer/guitarist/bassist/keyboardist J Bonner.  Many other great musicians have sat in on Black Emerald sessions including Matt Parker, Dan Boer, Joel D’Amico, Tom Cook, Lino Trujillo, Ruben Durazo, and Robby Spengler.  The Black Emeralds’ backing tracks can be heard on songs by Lone Ranger, Jah Faith, Tim Armstrong, Ras Congo, Robbie Spengler, Raynier Jacildo, and Sir Scorcher. This is the defining sound of Jandisc Records.
