[glenn tamir <klezska...>]

 Special Press Release: 
On Thursday, November 20th the group Klezska! will be performing at Satalla - 
37 West 26th Street in NY City (between 6th & Broadway).  The show begins at 
8PM and there is a $15 cover charge.
 
Klezska! is a newly-formed group that dedicates itself to the preservation of 
the old-school style of Ska popularized by the Skatalites.  This ten-piece 
ensemble which includes a five-piece horn section, combines Klezmer and Jewish 
melodies with the traditional style of the Ska music.
 
This concert is a tribute to one of the founders of the Ska music.  Roland 
Alphonso was one of the most prolific composers in Jamaican history and his 
tenor, soprano and flute playing was unequaled.  This night marks the 5th 
anniversary of his passing and Klezska would like to dedicate the evening to 
Roland's memory and music.
 
Klezska will be joined by several guest musicians as they perform many of the 
old Skatalites compositions from the 1960's composed by Roland and fellow 
Skatalite Don Drummond (trombone).  These songs will include:  Guns of 
Navarone, Man in the Street, Eastern Standard Time, Ringo, Confucious, Garden 
of Love, Four Corners and the James Bond Theme.
