The Hugh Tracey Karimba, made by African Musical Instruments. In the 1980s Tracey made a design for a 17-note karimba, based on Tapera's 15-note instrument, using the same hardware as the Hugh Tracey treble kalimba, and AMI began selling it as the African Tuned Karimba. While Tracey's seven-year stint performing in a Broadway musical did not leave any time for ethnomusicological research, his studies at ILAM did allow him to perform. When he returned to Africa in 1969, he started the Andrew Tracey Steel Pan Band, which performed around Grahamstown and South Africa and in festivals such as the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown until 2007.

He also continued to perform as a pianist, and became bandleader at the Sunset Club in Carnaby Street and then at the more up-market Sugar Hill club in St James's, where he met and later recorded with American jazz pianist Mary Lou Williams. He increasingly used an electric piano and organ, and worked widely in clubs and restaurants in London as a solo performer and with other musicians including steel pan player Hugo Gunning, bassist Coleridge Goode, and pianists Iggy Quail and Russ Henderson. He also taught, devised arrangements for other musicians, and worked as a library cataloguer in London until 1976. He retired to Arima, Trinidad, but continued to mentor musicians there and write arrangements for them.

"Theatre's Geraldine Connor dies in UK", Sunday Express (Trinidad & Tobago), 22 October 2011. In Trinidad she was deeply involved with the steel- pan movement, and she said of her participation in the annual Panorama steel band competition held at carnival time: "I was the first woman to play bass in the then Trintoc Invaders 1977–1983 and in 1984 was the first woman to arrange a Panorama tune for them. Indeed I might have been the first woman to arrange for a Panorama competition." She returned to London to work as education supervisor of Brent Black Music Co-operative (1984–87),Elizabeth Sleeman, "Connor-Crawford, Geraldine Roxanne", The International Who's Who of Women 2002, Psychology Press, 2001, p. 113.

Each island has its own musical flair and individuality, but musically soca is the most dominant of the English-speaking islands in the region. Invented in Trinidad, the closest islands, Barbados and Grenada, were the first islands to promote and produce the music out of Trinidad & Tobago. Since the 1960s, many other islands have been promoting their styles of music, such as Antigua & Barbuda, St Kitts & Nevis, Saint Vincent, Dominica, and Jamaica (although to a much lesser extent). The steel pan, a famous symbol of the Caribbean, was invented in Trinidad also during the 1940s, during World War II. Many oil drums from the USA had been transported to Trinidad, and there, an inspired musician moulded the base in order to make a drum.

Pastorius, reaching to accentuate his bass guitar sound with harmonics The recruitment of Jaco Pastorius helped to push Weather Report to the height of its popularity. Already a rising star in his own right, Pastorius brought a very musical, melodic quality to the bass. He could play muscular, lightning-fast groove lines influenced by R&B; or funk, as well as demonstrating an extraordinary solo control of tone and string harmonics, often sounding more like a horn player. Pastorius was also a multi-instrumentalist (contributing drums, steel pan, and mandocello to the latest recording sessions), a gifted composer (eventually responsible for some signature Weather Report pieces such as "Teen Town" and "Three Views of a Secret"), and a useful production foil for Zawinul due to his knowledge of recording studios and techniques.

Waithe, p. 41 The pan evolved from music which the island slaves created for the carnival festivities.Waithe, p. 42 The first steel-pans were made from oil drums. The players would beat on the end of the oil drum with bamboo to produce music and found that the areas of the drum that were hit the most frequently developed a higher pitch. From this discovery the players learned that they could change the pitch of the drum to create different notes.Waithe, p. 43 The steel-pan is created by hammering a 55-gallon drum to produce the full chromatic range of scale notes.Lewis, 1993 After the drum is hammered into the shape of a concave bowl, individual notes are grooved out into the bowl of the drum.Lewis, 2010, p.

A gifted musician, he started a course studying music at Dartington College of Arts but, according to cultural activist Ra Hendricks, he "became disenchanted with the set-up in the educational institution and found his way to Ladbroke Grove". Baptiste soon became involved in community educational work in the area, and began teaching children to play the steel pan at the Wornington Road adventure playground (now the Venture Centre) off Golborne Road in North Kensington, joining forces with community worker Rhaune Laslett.

On 6 October 2007, Courtney Pine assembled a fifteen-piece lineup for a new themed concert called "Afropeans" at the Barbican Centre, London, marking the bicentenary of the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. This new band featured two original Jazz Warriors members (Pine and Jason Yarde), but brought in two other established black British jazz players — pianist Alex Wilson and trumpeter Byron Wallen. It also contained younger black British jazz talent, including Jay Phelps and Nathaniel Facey (both from the band Empirical), Ayanna Witter-Johnson (on cello and vocals), Ebony Steel Pan Orchestra player Samuel Dubois and electric/acoustic guitarist Femi Temowo (known for his work with Soweto Kinch), as well as Cuban electric violinist Omar Puente. The concert was recorded for a live Courtney Pine Afropean Jazz Warriors album, also called Afropeans (Destin-e Records, 2008).

Mike and Dave recorded the acid house songs "1666" and "Get Acidic" together without Mark, and continued the same partnership using other aliases, notably Masters of the Universe, Mystique, Kikkit and The Shy Boys. In 1989, Dave Lee, Mike Cheal and Mark Ryder broke through the underground with a club hit under the assumed name Raven Maize, which made judicious use of disco samples, something Lee has returned to repeatedly over the course of his career. "Together Forever", which was based on the Exodus song of the same name, was released on New York label Quark, with a press release that claimed Maize was an ex-convict in a Disneyland steel pan band. In 1990, Lee's most enduring pseudonym made its debut, when he released Joey Negro's first single via New York indie house music label Nu Groove, with his new name a homage to Pal Joey and J. Walter Negro.

Since 2009 Taussig has devoted himself exclusively to writing and composition. His first book, “The Atheist’s Guide to Miracles” was published in summer 2012. Over the next seven years he has published four novels, two memoirs, two poetry and short story collections, and one translation from the German, his father's holocaust era memoir, "Man Without a Shadow, The Jew Who Would Not be Caught". The list of his compositions includes an opera (Fibonacci), a requiem Let There Be War, an oratorio (Eve of Life), three symphonies, and concertos for Bagpipe and Orchestra, steel pan, and Peruvian panpipes. His ballet “Three Dubious Memories” was choreographed by Paul Taylor in 2011 and toured extensively by the Paul Taylor Dance Company. His current CD projects include “101 Sound-bite Symphonies - a celebration of short attention span”, and the electronic CD "Musica Sacra Nuova - Thirteen Urban Rituals" (2014).

Having completed a world tour in February 2009, Hot Chip returned to London and began writing and recording their fourth album, One Life Stand. In early 2009, Alexis Taylor told NME that the band recorded new songs including "Alley Cats", which the band played regularly while touring in 2008/2009. Initially, Taylor hinted that the album was going to be "a bit calmer this time" in comparison to Made in the Dark with songs that are "more mid-tempo and disco influenced", although the two tracks released prior to the album, "Take It In" and "One Life Stand", suggest that it will be more upbeat than first suggested, and may be more influenced by early house music. Alongside the regular band members, Hot Chip collaborated on several of the album tracks with the drummer Charles Hayward from This Heat and Camberwell Now, Leo Taylor, drummer from the London-based band The Invisible and the Trinidadian steel pan player Fimber Bravo.
