Ska-Jazz Bands
Hybrids of jazz and ska have been recorded since ska's birth in Jamaica over three decades ago. And New York serves as home for the legendary Skatalites as well as any number of ska musicians who can play jazz licks. But the New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble is something special because of a striking commitment to transforming challenging jazz standards.

The Articels
Proud players and purveyors of Jamaican Jazz: a crazy
neo-traditional vibe somewhere between Kingston and Motown; between yesterday
and next week; somewhere between Dizzy Gillespie, Don Drummond, and Desi
Arnaz. Not exactly Trad, not exactly not. If you've heard them, you know
what time it is!
Skatet
Skatet is a 7 piece traditional ska band with heavy
heavy jazz influences from Minneapolis, MN. They are fronted by none other
than Elmar Romain on the bass! Skatet has been around for about 10 years
now, and they are definitely the undiscovered ska treasure of the Twin
Cities. (the link goes to their page)
