The Skatalites' return to a major label was long overdue. For a band whose original incarnation had only lasted 14 months in the '60s, their influence had been tremendous. Resurrected in 1983, they were definitely jazzers with a ska beat these days. Ball of Fire was made up of old Skatalites material, all reinterpeted by a band that included four founder members, and it taught a lesson in sophistication and swing to all aspiring ska instrumentalists. Everything had a groove; the solos were fluent and never self-indulgent. In other words, it was everything they ever aspired to be, and glorious fun, too. Chris Nickson

tu tone ska
this cd is great i got it a while ago and the beats are very catchy dont look for anything fast here just mellow music for that sunny drive home or impress your friends with your vast music knowledge. this is a great cd


This is SKA
Ha, thinking that the Mighty Mighty Bosstones invented ska, and the fact that you are from Chi-town, stating that makes you even more ignorant. Chicago had a huge ska following until it faded from the trend a few years back. I was in utter shock to go see The Toasters at The Metro and there was absolutely no one there. If the Bosstones invented ska then what are The Specials considered, and trust me they were around long before the bosstones took up plaid and danced on stage. Even more so The Skatalites, who got their start in the early 60s, which set the stage for the upbeat sound we all enjoy dancing too. I mean if you sit down and listen to the Skatalites for ten seconds you can even pick out the beat, seriously how dumb can you be? If you listen to more modern traditional ska bands such as Hepcat and The Slackers you can see where they get their influence from. This album is just plain out amazing, with horns and a beat spot on. This is something to pop into your car's stereo and just chill to as you drive down I-80, better yet to pop in at home and possibly dance or just bob your head, I love this album!


Wow!
For the record, the Skatalites did NOT invent ska any more than the Rolling Stones invented roll. They were going to call themselves the Satelites but changed their name to reflect the music then in vogue. Anyway does any one group really invent a music genre? Usually it is a gradual progression and then someone claims ownership or, as in the case of the Skatalites, has ownership thrust upon them.

By the way, don't worry about Mr Young. He has been posting the same rubbish on other Skatalite reviews and is obviously ignorant or deliberately provocative, or both.

Now, here's provocative. Whilst I like a bit of ska (but not too much as it is rather crude) I love Cuban son. Check out "Los Padres del Son Cubano" by Sexteto Habanero, recordings from the 1920's that will blow your socks off and redefine what music could be. Knocks jazz and its even paler derivatives into a cocked hat. And some.
