Album Notes

In an era of overproduced Pop and electronic DJ superstars, the Rotterdam Ska–Jazz Foundation (RSJF) keeps it real. Taking the music of the sixties as a starting point, they start where others have left. But be careful! The Rotterdam Ska–Jazz Foundation is NOT a retro band in any perspective. Armed with drums, bass, guitar, piano, organs, and a wide range of horns, the Rotterdam Ska–Jazz Foundation has been refining their mix of Ska, Jazz, Rock–Steady, Reggae and Soul over the past six years.

With their second full length effort out now on Megalith Records, this is one loco-motiv train to ska-ville that shows no evidence of running out of \'steam\' anytime soon. If these sounds don\'t shake your foundation, you must be dead. This is ska music today, not yesterday and not tomorrow, but right now. To live in the now, you must also catch this band live. Taking only one musical trip to the United Sates a few years back, the best chance is to catch a ride to Europe and see them in their home country. But hopefully with the success of this new record, along with their other release \"Kingston Kitchen\" of which they recorded and played alongside ska \'big man\' Dr. Ring Ding, they will get invited to come back to the states and grace us with their ground moving ass shaking ska sounds from the old country...
