This is a joyous mini album of original traditional instrumental ska tunes, given the Big Band treatment. It's as if The Skatalites joined forces with Henri Mancini, with jaw-dropping arrangements throughout and top notch solos-a-plenty. It harks back to a golden age of real musicianship and attention to detail, but is not fussy or pretentious, with the groove central to its core. It is impossible not to enjoy.
