Jamaican ska legends' latest album Platinum Ska finally out on vinyl with three bonus dubs. The group has been at the forefront of ska music since the mid-'60s, and this studio album is their first recordings to follow the band's 50th anniversary celebrations in 2014. The Skatalites built the foundation for Jamaican music, and was part of it's evolution as it morphed from ska to rock steady then reggae, helping give birth to household names like Toots and The Maytals, Lee Perry, and of course Bob Marley & The Wailers. Since re-forming in the '80s, The Skatalites have been through their share of transformation and have sadly seen most of the band's original members pass on. Each of today's existing members were hand-picked by the band's original members to play, and they continue to hold down the tradition by performing at some of the most prestigious festivals around the world. Two of the tracks included on Platinum Ska feature original 60's era drummer Lloyd Knibb (who passed away in 2011), plus it captures alto sax player Lester Sterling and vocalist Doreen Shaffer, the last two living original Skatalites members. The album was mixed in Mali and also includes guest appearances by legendary Malian musicians Assaba Dram and Madou Sidiki Diabat. Simply put, Platinum Ska is a testament to some of the greatest Jamaican musicians the world has ever seen, and Jump Up is proud to preserve this legacy once again with a limited vinyl edition.

Justin Adams is one of the unsung heroes among UK guitarists and cross-cultural ambassadors, committed to working with great musicians across West Africa, the Maghreb and southern Europe. On this record he joins the remarkable Mauro Durante of Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino to showcase a UK/Puglia blend with a sharp political edge. The title track Still Moving bears witness to the trauma of refugees seeking shelter that few here can imagine and too few even care to think about.
Full credit to Justin Adams, a wonderful musician with a true grasp of what solidarity means. His world view crosses musical borders and calls for a better future for all humanity.
