Interesting live stuff that’s easy to enjoy! I’m wondering who the young trumpet player and trombone player are in the Skatalites live performance. As far as the rhythm section is concerned, Lloyd Knibb is his usual dependable self on drums, and Lloyd Brevett, as is always the case, is very animated on his stand-up bass.

Later I’ll listen to ‘Police Woman” once again, this time through a good speaker system. I’ve never heard of this Skatalites recording before now though. Thanks for posting these two links, X.

Looking at the Argentina orchestra, I love that lead guitarist, and his showmanship simply enhanced his solo! The harmonica player, the trumpet player and the trombonist were all outstanding as well. The string interlude added some welcome color to this tapestry. Truly lovely music!

By the way, before you started making your posts, I was not aware that ska was so hugely popular in Argentina!!

I found that video on a spanish website years ago and i was looking for it ever since to post here , because it was deleted, I have searched the net everyday for years for it and finally I got it.

Dancing mood is a ska/reggae/jazz band heavy on the ska though, they have turned almost every song in a ska tune , and they have studied the masters, Don, Roland & Tommy works immensley.

Back to Tommy & Rolnad , just imagine them in their youth with Don , blasting that tune.

Ahhh sahhhh.These guys were Kings !

Thanks for these videos, always good to see some vintage Skatalites, btw there is a Skatalites Son across the cafe, and he told me about a movie project some time ago.

Sine I heard Reggae Strings Vol II some years ago, I always thought of the same treatment for Ska, as the Argentine band display, weel if Jamaica don't want what they create, others will run with it, more power....

Of note that was on the SKA-VOOOVEE album , their third album since they re united, in the 80s.

Saddest thing about the reunification to me , is they never did over a couple of classic tunes , like nimble foot ska and beards man ska.
