#545 :: LIVE Recording Wednesday 27th March 2019 :: The Scofflaws, LIVE Vol.1 (1996)

A great live recording from a Huntington, Long Island, New York-based third wave ska band that debuted in 1988 called the Scofflaws.

The Scofflaws early sound was characterized by strong R&B and jazz influences as well as eclectic covers of such songs as Henry Mancini's "A Shot in the Dark", Danny Elfman's theme for Pee-wee's Big Adventure, and a scorching live rendition of The Skatalites instrumental "Ska-La Parisian". Original songs like "Ska-La-Carte", "Nude Beach" and "William Shatner" became cult favorites due to the offbeat lyrics and quirky vocal stylings of bandleader Richard "Sammy" Brooks and trombonist Buford O'Sullivan.

They toured the United States several times, including stints as the openers for Desmond Dekker and Bad Manners. In addition, they toured Europe in 1998 supporting Laurel Aitken & The New York Ska Jazz Ensemble.

Although The Scofflaws have not released a studio recording since 1998, Brooks continues to lead the band in live performances within the New York area.

#541 :: LIVE Recording Wednesday :: Ernest Ranglin LIVE At Reggae On The River (27 February 2019)

Ernest Ranglin, one of Jamaica's architects of both the ska and reggae sounds, and one of the island's most frequently-recorded session musicians, has actually been playing and recording for over 50 years now, and looks so good for his age. His playing has gotten stronger as he has gotten older. 'Ska Wey Dat is a two-disc set of jazzy ska and reggae guitar which showcases Ranglin's skill. The first disc consists of the relatively slick and commercial-sounding E.B. @ Noon, which was originally issued in an extremely limited release in 1999, and is here reissued under the title Ska Wey Dat; the second disc is a previously unreleased live set from the 1998 Reggae on the River festival in California, on which Ranglin fronts Floyd Lloyd's Ska Band. I have selected nine tracks from this second disc to feature in this episode of LIVE Recording Wednesday here on GO FEET! Radio. The live disc is a rough-and-ready romp through old-school ska and reggae tunes like "Satta Massagana" (which is given an insightful and lovely instrumental treatment). Enjoy.

528 :: Guns of Auckland Ska Fest, Bluesfest, and Beyond (28 November 2018)

Here's a big shout out to the Auckland Ska Festival kicking off this weekend at Galatos 3pm. A special mention here about Atsushi Moisty - he got a big shout out from David Rodigan on BBC Sounds. Here's what Atsushi had to say:

"Oh wow, I have never thought that my song would be played on BBC. This made my day!! David Rodigan played Sound of the Ska (early classic from the Moisties which is also on Rudies All Around compilation - worldwide release). And I have never thought that David Rodigan would complement the recording by comparing to Federal Studios recording of Jamaica. If anyone wants to listen, follow this link, it’s around 1 hour 12ish. I just feel very humble. More life!"

In the mix as well are tracks from more artists just announced for Bluesfest Byron Bay 2019. And a whole lot of tasty tracks to help you ease into the weekend. Enjoy.

#502 :: LIVE Recording Wednesday featuring House Of Shem LIVE At Reggae On The River

House Of Shem is an Aotearoa (New Zealand) based harmony trio comprised of Carl Perkins and his two sons Te Omeka Perkins and Isaiah Perkins who are each multi instrumentalist and producers.

It is with much sadness that we bid farewell to Papa Carl Perkins who has died after battling bowel cancer.

The House of Shem guitarist and singer was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer in February, 2017 (three days before his 58th birthday) and died on Wednesday May 9, 2018, two weeks after his most recent surgery.

Papa Carl was a true pioneer and champion of reggae music here in Aotearoa. Thank you Sir. God rest your loving soul.

This LIVE Recording Wednesday episode features House of Shem live at Reggae on the River 2016 at French's Camp in Humboldt County, California.

#485 :: LIVE Recording Wednesday :: Jimmy Cliff (24 Jan 2018)

Yes theres controversy over who's backing Jimmy Cliff on this possible 'bootleg' but the fact remains, Cliff is a legend. Apparently, Cliff was backed here by The Roots Radics, but it was more likely The Oneness Band. The performance was recorded live on a cold night at Park West, 11th Nov in Chicago. It was also broadcast on WXRT-FM.

Whoever it was did a funken' good job. Cliff plays Bluesfest Byron Bay over Easter 2018 and I'm going to be there to witness his sheer talent.

Next week we will have the debut episode of Windy City Sound System, really looking forward to it!

In the meantime, enjoy this episode of LIVE Recording Wednesday.
