Your post set me on a journey that led to Dr. Alimentado, roots reggae I love. Thanks Tim

I like the jazz solo part way through. They're worth going to see live if you ever get the chance I think, they're currently touring the UK. When they played at Sheffield in 2011 or 2012 they went down very well. Some people seemed a bit grumpy when they'd finished, so they played Three Little Birds to make everybody chilled before going home.

A friend of a friend thought they were too jazzy apparently, but if you go with an open mind without wanting a certain kind of ska, I guess that's probably the right approach to appreciate them with.

I thought the bass player seemed 'mystical', I wasn't even a tiny bit stoned.

They're playing Edinburgh soon, I'm considering going. But the fact that there are no original members left puts me off a bit.
