Pittsburgh Reggae Artist Records Third Album Sessions in Kingston

Errol Wizdom, born Errol Williams and rooted in Trench Town, completed recording sessions in Kingston across 2025 for his third album, Reggae Dancehall. The project aims to capture a Kingston-inflected reggae and dancehall aesthetic and will include songs already issued as singles in 2025: "Cherry of My Life," "Jamming on The Mountain," and the title track.

Wizdom tracked the album in multiple sessions last year, bringing a mix of family and Jamaican musical talent into the studio. His sons, George and Errol Williams, joined the project, reinforcing the familial dimension of the record. Jamaican keyboardist Delroy Clarke contributed to the sessions, and American singer Anni Mai appears on the project, adding a cross‑cultural vocal element to the arrangements.

Recording in Kingston gives the album a production context that listeners who follow roots and dancehall will recognize. For community members in Pittsburgh and beyond, the sessions signal Wizdom’s commitment to authenticity and to bridging local U.S. reggae practice with Jamaica’s musical heart. The inclusion of previously released singles means fans already familiar with those tracks will hear them as part of a broader thematic and sonic statement when the album is completed.

Wizdom’s career stretches back to the 1970s, when he developed ties with Jamaican producers, and he has long led the Errol Wizdom World Beat Reggae Band in Pittsburgh. That history informs his approach on Reggae Dancehall, blending veteran experience with contemporary collaborators. The participation of his sons suggests continuity for his band and offers younger listeners a point of connection to the next generation of performers.

For regional promoters, radio programmers, and venue bookers, the album’s Kingston sessions and the presence of recognizable contributors provide new angles for programming and promotion. Community organizers in Pittsburgh and other U.S. cities with active reggae cultures can leverage the release to highlight diasporic connections and to showcase a local artist who remains actively engaged with Jamaican musical currents.

As the project moves from final production toward release, listeners can anticipate a record that ties Trench Town roots to modern dancehall rhythms while preserving the band-led world beat sensibility that has marked Wizdom’s decades of performance.
