- Tonight's showcase of living reggae legends contrasts the rough with the smooth. U-Roy, or the "chalice in the palace," delivers his raspy toasts atop roots-inflected dancehall. Conversely, Cornell Campbell is one of Jamaica's finest crooners. Campbell's recent standout work — providing guest vocals for German minimalist-dub producers Rhythm and Sound — is a further testament to his versatility as a singer, but longtime fans will no doubt want to hear new versions of his classic, career-defining Treasure Island Records catalog. – Matt Sussman
