(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is perfect for the first time buyer, specially if you like ska spiced up with other rythms that are not to heavy. (If you want ska-punk this band is not for you).
Funk, Jazz, Swing, and even Dixie beats are sprinkled over without eclipsing the main ska feeling to make a well performed buffet in this album. Dream Express is like nothing you've heard before (track 5), Stepping on the road (track 7) has that funky feeling that reminds you of the good brass ensembles of funk in years gone, before a nerdy computer guy could make music with fake trumpets, trombones, saxes and drums.
Lemon Drops (track 13) makes you feel in Vegas watching a line of Chorus girls if you close your eyes.
If I had to start my collection all over again I would choose this album as my first choice.
A must have if you play baritone sax."
