The explosive energy of Jamaican music, led by the Skatalites.
A rare session recorded at the prestigious Randy's, capturing the raw yet uplifting vibe of early ska.
The overwhelming energy of the horns and the sense of speed behind the beat are unmatched. This collection of recordings of great historical value captures the excitement of the time and the thrill of improvisation in its entirety.
