	World Music Central - The Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra On Tour
		These ten charismatic musicians in impeccably outrageous suits are certainly masters of third wave/modern ska, whether it is traditional Jamaican ska (complete with full horns), hardcore garage-surf-punk-ska, or rock, jazz, funk and reggae and even Latin and calypso.
		Not your typical ska band, for the past 20 years Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra has been honing its eyebrow-raising craft in Japan and Europe like a fine but potent sake.
		The jazz chops are there - the horn section alone is well qualified to blast complex and articulate big band.

	NYSJE Bio
		With the goal of rendering traditional beats for the nineties, the debut, self-titled effort from the NY Ska Jazz Ensemble presented an amalgam of both original material and jazz classics set to ska and reggae grooves.
		And so, an idea was born: what of the concept of a dream band, dedicated to playing instrumental ska on the jazz tip (in tribute to the early masters of Jamaica), but bringing the precision and energy of the modern performance idiom?
		Veteran of innumeral benchmark ska and reggae recordings, Mr.

		DENNIS BOVELL mentioned, "I would always be available for them.�� TOKYO SKA PARADISE ORCHESTRA is the one deserving special ska bands standing out among the ska bands around the world, and musical performers who contribute many aspects of music like the authentic ska, Jazz and rock to their sounds.
		As they started off with the ska sound that was not actually the main sound in the scene, it all owes to this group of more than 10 people who charged out of from Tokyo��s underground scene and showing the innovated and blast-off action, that the Japanese music scene aroused as it is now.
		After releasing the album ��FULL-TENSION BEATERS�� in Europe in December of 2000, TOKYO SKA PARADISE ORCEHSTRA had launched out an European tour for 11 venues within 12 days around France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.

	Evolution of the Original Jamaica Ska - ReggaeFusion.com
		Ska ensembles were generally a blend of electric instrumentation and horns most popular in jazz (saxophone, trumpet, trombone).
		Ska's popularity declined in 1966, when the slower, cooler rock steady style found favor with younger listeners during the particularly hot summer; moreover, ska lost one of its top performers that year when Don Drummond was arrested for the murder of his girlfriend and committed to an institution (he died there several years later).
		Ska enjoyed a brief and popular revival in the U.K. during the late '70s and early '80s, thanks to the enthusiasm of many British punk fans for reggae records, and the skipping, infectious ska beat in particular.

	Ska
		Ska had become, as a friend of mine likes to say, punk rock's happy cousin -- an upbeat, often politically fueled, but largely nonviolent outlet for youthful energy in American suburbs.
		The new ska bands haven't had to shy away from sounding too ska, or make a point of putting their rockiest foot forward first.
		Later this summer, on August 23 at Nashoba Valley Ski Area in Westford, a giant New England Ska Festival is scheduled, to include national and regional veterans like the Skatalites, the Toasters, and Bim Skala Bim, as well as up-and-comers Skavoovie and the Epitones, Spring Heeled Jack, and the Pilfers.

		Ska's buoyant appeal has never died, merely gone underground now and then, and it's raging at an all-time high today.
		I also like more traditional ska, but I've had enough with the naming of names, and trying to one-up everyone by being more 'pure' in their selection.

		A swing-ska number by Reggie Msomi's Hollywood Jazz Band and a choral recording by Solomon Linda's Original Evening Birds -- which was actually recorded in 1939 -- are extremely noteworthy despite their somewhat out of place inclusion on a compilation of jazz-oriented tunes from the '50s and '60s.

		Jazz Jamaica were excellent, and played possibly the most complete black music you could get - Motown classics done in reggae/ska style with scorching jazz solos.
		It's that time of year again - time to get the tickets sorted for this year's Brecon Jazz Festival!
		Bob - Brecon was always a fixture with me when I lived in Nottingham - I saw a Metheny trio there in about 1992 (Dave Holland on Bass) and kept going up until 97 when it started getting rather oversubscribed (in my opinion) and walking the streets became a bit of a bunfight.

	Grandpa Frank & The Badass Brass - About Ska
		Ska first began to develop in the 1940's and '50's in Jamaica, when Jamaican musicians were blending the traditional music of their country with American music (specifically jazz and rock).
		Nearly all of the ska you hear today is Third Wave ska and the way I would describe it to a ska newbie is "upbeat punk rock with horns." I do hate that analogy, however, because ska is really so much more complex than that.
		This new rocking ska was the Third Wave, also known as "Revival Ska" because ska was thought to be dead before these American bands brought it back to life.

	In Music We Trust - Toasters: Pioneers of the Third Wave Ska Sound
		The first 'wave' was when The Skatalites fused several styles of music, including jazz, to create what is now known as traditional ska (the predecessor to reggae).
		Starting a record label (Moon Ska Records) to help push the music he loved so much, it was an uphill struggle that has finally seemed to pay off.
		A big fan of English two-tone, as well as traditional ska, Rob "Bucket" Hingley decided to bring the music he loved to the U.S. -- Which, despite its popularity in England, was barely felt in the states.
