Biography by Steve Huey
The
New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble is exactly what its name suggests: a group
of New York ska musicians dedicated to exploring the links between ska
and jazz. The membership is all culled from top New York ska acts,
making it something of a supergroup: leaders "Rocksteady" Freddie Reiter
(saxophone, vocals) and Rick Faulkner (trombone, vocals) hail from the
Toasters, as does drummer/lead vocalist Jonathan McCain, guitarist Devon
James comes from the legendary Skatalites, and bassist Victor Rice and
keyboardist Cary Brown play full-time with the Scofflaws. The group
released its self-titled debut in 1995 to excellent reviews, and
reconvened in 1997 to record the follow-up, Low Blow.
