Original Recipe Ska Stylers

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Musical Communion features tracks originally recorded in the early and mid-1960's and released under pseudonyms such as "James Bond," "Inez" and "Eastern Standard Time" by different Skatalite members.One of my fave rocking horn sections in all of music consists of Lester Sterling (alto saxophone), Tommy McCook, Roland Alphonso (tenor saxophone), Johnny Moore, Baba Brooks, Rupert Dillon (trumpet) and Don Drummond (trombone).This album should be a must-have for any fan of original recipe ska."
