Shortly after the release of his first solo album in early 2011, "Madness" (read our review), Harrison ''Professor'' Stafford went on tour with his sidekicks. It is his performance at Reggae Sun Ska last year that can be heard on this live album coupled with a DVD, entitled "Throw Down Your Arms".
The Groundation singer is accompanied by the Jamaicans Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace (drums), Flabba Holt (bass), Lloyd "Obeah" Denton (keyboards) and Dalton Browne, but also Eric "Rico" Gaultier on saxophone and Thomas Henning on trombone.
