About this title:
Synopsis: Before Bob Marley brought reggae to the world, before Jimmy Cliff and Peter Tosh, before thousands of musicians played a Jamaican rhythm, there were the men and women who created ska music, a blend of jazz, American rhythm and blues, and the indigenous music of the Caribbean. This book tells the story of ska music and its development from Jamaica to England, where the music took on a distinctively different tone, and finally to the rest of the world. Through the words of over 30 of legendary artists, gleaned from over a decade of interviews, the story of ska music is finally told by those who were there.
About the Author: Heather Augustyn is a professional photographer and has been a correspondent for The Times of Northwest Indiana, the state's second largest newspaper, since December 2004. Her work has appeared in numerous national publications. She lives in Chesterton, Indiana.
