Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra
I just came back, drenching wet, from a fantastic performance of the
Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra at Paradiso (Amsterdam), and knew I had to
share their big sound. The Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra has been in my music collection for the
last fifteen years (they were originally formed in 1988). They are from
Tokyo, play Ska / Rock / Big Band music and they are devilishly good at
it. I can’t recommend them enough. They have a big sound, a fantastic,
positive, fresh attitude and a big presence on stage. They win the
audience and have everyone pogo-dancing by the end of the third song… Their music can be fast or slow, whimsical and funny or leaning towards
seriously good atmospheric Jazz. At all times though, their songs are
engaging and never fall into a lull of expected melody. It always keeps
you guessing. The Wikipedia entry:
