Rising from the ashes of the acclaimed Jazz Jamaica Allstars

ASWAD's Clifton Bigga
Morrison. As a team, they have traveled worldwide and performed
in major
festivals as well as headlining shows and playing as guests with
international stars. The rhythm section is a blend of reggae,
jazz, ska,
mentoe and electronica, mixing technology with live instruments
including a
full horn section.
With a broad repertoire, drawn from the five Jazz Jamaica album
as well as
new Skatroniks material, the extended line up and guest musicians
and DJs
are set to bring hours of pure ska and reggae to East London on
the 9th.
"Skatroniks" blends the old and the new of Jamaican
and Caribbean dance
music, with jazz improvisation. This is the band behind the beat
ska of the
future.
