| | The Skatalites |
| | Skatalites were a band of highly skilled musicians, who backed most of the top stars of the day, including not yet discovered Bob Marley. | | | The Skatalites, featuring a number of virtuosic soloists and led by the mercurial trombonist Don Drummond, were far and away the top instrumental group, and also served as the house backing band for Coxsone Dodd's prolific Studio One. | | | Next year, the Skatalites record their reunion album, The Return of The Big Guns, the core members of the Skatalites emigrate and eventually coalesce in the northeast of the United States. |

| | Of course the Skatalites are barely a ska band anymore -- they're a jazz band with a ska backbeat. | | | What the Skatalites of today lack is the discipline of the line-up of old: their recent string of reunion albums (mostly on Shanachie) was filled with six-minute jams. | | | But most of the tracks are instrumentals, recorded at a time when instrumentals hardly ever got on the radio. |

| | Skatalites: From Paris With Love - PopMatters Music Review |
| | If you are a hapless Bosstones fan who's never heard (or heard of) the Skatalites, then this album may be a good place to begin to learn about the history of ska, rock steady, and reggae as well as of this remarkable band. | | | The second wave of ska produced some good bands and some great music, the third wave fewer, but if you want to really hear the music played with respect for its deepest roots, you need to go to the source, and that is undoubtedly the Skatalites. | | | This group has a lot to offer listeners, and they've done nothing to compromise the ska band sound they originated. |

| | A new live concert album, From Paris with Love, is scheduled for a May release. | | | It's impossible to overestimate the Skatalites' place in music history. | | | Four decades ago, this legendary band helped define the upbeat dance music that served as a precursor to rock steady and reggae and inspired three waves of British and American imitators, from such ska revivalists as the English Beat to the Mighty Mighty Bosstones to rockers No Doubt. |

| | The sound of the Skatalites is, to a large degree, the sound of Jamaican ska records from the 60s, but the actual reason the group formed as 'The Skatalites' was to perform live. | | | By all accounts, they were one of the most exciting live bands on the island, but unfortunately, it seems that the only live performance that has survived in any recording medium is a famous piece of silent film that shows them playing on the back of a parade float. | | | Thus equipped, the Skatalites were ready to take the live music scene in Jamaica by storm. |

| | While non-ska fans may not find some of these tunes terribly catchy or clean, regular Skatalites listeners should relish the chance to hear the band in their short-lived original line-up playing hereto hard-to-find material. | | | However, it's a shame that music fans dont give more credit to the Skatalites and their largely instrumental ska beats. | | | I'd be the first to admit that I'm not a big fan of ska, but any self-respecting reggae fan will likely know several Skatalites songs. |

| | Lloyd Brevett and the Skatalites |
| | When you pick up a CD with the Skatalites name on it you usually expect to hear ska, but the Rastafarian color scheme in the CD booklet should be the first clue where Lloyd Brevett (a Skatalite himself) was heading with this album. | | | Ska had since given way to slower rhythms and despite the name of the band and label, this album heavily reflects the roots-reggae movement. | | | And if you're itching for more of the original sixties ska sound, well, not only does it fail to completely disappear on the African Roots album, but you'll find a few bonus tracks from that era attached to this reissue. |

| | Its would be hard to list all of the members of the Skatalites because they often had many different people singing on their various albums and many different musicians because the culture of early ska was such a close knit one. | | | Pretty much the first ever Ska band, the Skatalites took Rlues, Boogie Woogie, RandB, Jazz, Mento, Calypso and African Rythem and formed a distinctivly Jamacian music now known as Ska. | | | There are probably a few cds out there that feature the skatalites as well. |
