RECORD OF THE MONTH! 🔥 Big Up French Reggae Vibes magazine for presenting the Jamaican Ska Orchestra - A Recording Tribute to The Skatalites, in their current issue #90. Here's the English translation: "Even if their name still appears on tour posters, it’s been a long time since the current Skatalites had anything to do with the legendary Jamaican group. After the death of saxophonist Lester Sterling, the last trace of magic disappeared - especially for those who once had the joy of seeing the band with several of its key original members. Given the immense influence of the first ska supergroup - a legacy not always properly recognised - such a tribute was hardly excessive.
This isn’t the first of its kind, of course; one might recall the tremendous early records by California’s Western Standard Time. But this one stands out for a reason: it brings together a fine array of contemporary Jamaican musicians to rekindle the spirit of the compositions created by their great predecessors. Considering the often mediocre ska tracks released from the island over the past forty years - with only rare exceptions - one might have thought the genre long dead and buried.
Credit, then, to Jay Schaetz, leader of the excellent Swiss band The Skatanauts, for proving otherwise. To do so, he selected some of the most emblematic pieces composed by the great original combo, while also including lesser-known tracks that are equally successful. Naturally, the works of the great Don Drummond are featured - those early examples of the “Far East” minor-key sound later adopted by Augustus Pablo.
For added variety, the thirteen musicians - including the producer - also chose to perform less melancholic but equally irresistible numbers. It would be pointless to list them all, though our favourites include “Ska Ba”, “Mesopotamia”, “Addis Ababa”, and the emblematic “The Reburial”.
The orchestration of these fifteen standards - twelve on the vinyl edition - is absolutely impeccable, though perhaps the only minor flaw is that these formidable instrumentalists don’t quite let loose enough to set themselves apart from their illustrious elders. Still, it stands as a magnificent declaration of love for an eternal music." Rey D
