Okay, so I'm lost tonight. A mix led to the black hole of the day and I don't think I'm making it back here. It started with a really nice mix of stuff by the Skatalites and Jazz Jamaica at Internet Archive. It's newer stuff, by that I mean not brand new but not vintage. But that's okay. Actually better than okay, because regardless of when it was recorded it's good. I've always been fond of any horn heavy Jamaican music and there's no shortage here. The unfortunate thing is that it's a single download so it's all or nothing, and good luck trying to pinpoint what song you're listening to halfway through the mix. Regardless, even if you just bookmark it to listen to when you just need a couple hours of instrumentals, it's a good mix. There's a handful of other Skatalites tunes below as well, to satiate the cherry pickers. The "Herb Man Dub" thing, recorded at Tubby's, sounds nothing like them, so if you're in the mood for something different, that's the one.
