The NYC Ska Orchestra is a unique 20-piece big band that blends the exuberant musical layers of the jazz big band era with Jamaican roots music. Led by trumpeter and vocalist Kevin Batchelor, and featuring Jamaican music legend Larry MacDonald on congas and vocals, they create and perform lush original compositions and arrangements of classic songs from the rich and culturally-iconic Jamaican music of ska, mento, rock steady, reggae, and jazz from the 1950s and 60s.
NYCSO is led by arranger, trumpeter and educator Kevin Batchelor; and features 85 year-young celebrated Jamaican percussionist/vocalist Larry MacDonald, and Jamaican master drummer Carl Wright. Together they have recorded and/or performed with nearly every great Jamaican music artist including Peter Tosh, Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, Lee Scratch Perry, Skatalites, and Toots & The Maytals; and they regularly work with the leading Jamaican artists today.
