The Skatalites
Flamingo Cantina, Wednesday 23
There's never been a groove quite like ska, and no one has played it more soulfully or authoritatively than its Jamaican creators the Skatalites. The original bassist and drummer, Lloyds Brevett and Knibbs, remain incomparable in laying down that infectious beat as they have for 40 years. First-generation saxman Lester Sterling leads the regal four-man horn section that swings with a vengeance. Two full-fledged revivals have revitalized the band, invigorated the sound, and brought the music to new audiences. Back on te road with the new From Paris With Love, the Skatalites, and the beat, remain indomitable.
