Progressive Reggae?

I certainly think so! Am still getting a YT playlist together based on this thread and my own faves... and Matisyahu is in there.. I went for the early stuff though, live at Stubbs era... The tune you've posted is not immediately apparent as a reggae/dub influenced track although the sounds come in later, around 3:00... at this point it's most easily identified as a Matisyahu tune, which is no small achievement for any artist - to have an idenitifable sound!

"Brass Roots," the album by Serbian reggae-trombonist Hornsman Coyote (real name: Nemanja Kojić), based in London, can indeed be described as progressive reggae, given its fusion of traditional reggae elements with experimental sounds and innovative production techniques that push the boundaries of the genre. The experimental nature of the music in "Brass Roots," with its inclusion of dub tracks and innovative arrangements, aligns with the characteristics of progressive reggae. The willingness to explore new sounds while staying true to reggae roots demonstrates a forward-thinking approach that is typical of progressive reggae artists. The production quality of "Brass Roots," engineered by Jah Rej at Seventh Sense Studio in the UK and mixed at Kingsway WOT Studio and Earth Works Studio, further enhances its appeal. The incorporation of trombones as a prominent feature in the album adds depth to the sound and showcases a blend of traditional reggae elements with contemporary production techniques. The collaboration between trombonist Coyote and producer Rej Forte on this album brings together a mix of horns, melodies, and harmonies that create a unique sonic experience.
