JOIN US FOR THE BIGGEST SKA SHOW IN CENTRAL COAST'S RECENT HISTORY! 

THE SIREN EL CHORRO PRESENTS: 

Central Coast SKA Festival: Western Standard Time SKA Orchestra, Upside & Los Hooligans




WSTSKA Orchestra is Duke Ellington meets Jamaica: the big band jazz arrangements of the 1940s colliding with the sound of Jamaican SKA!

It is jazz! It is Jamaican jazz! And people are flocking to it, by the thousands!

Early Jamaica meets modern big band! By infusing elements of jazz, particularly big band jazz, into the contemporary musical mix, this group of Jamaican jazz gunslingers is rebranding the music of yesteryear and propelling it into the future!

These extraordinary musicians have taken Jamaican music, added big band jazz arrangements, and created a sound unique unto itself. Western Standard Time Ska Orchestra is the only one of its kind in the whole U.S. and one of only a few in the entire world.

Western Standard Time is the world's premier Jamaican Jazz Orchestra. At a "standard" performance, there are more than 20 world-class jazz musicians.

The band consists of west coast jazz greats who currently perform with the Clayton Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band, Luckman Jazz Orchestra, Bob Mintzer's Big Band, and The Brian Setzer Orchestra.

Western Standard Time's music has been embraced by both hardcore jazz and Jamaican music lovers the world over and has been broadcasted on KJZZ 88.1FM, KPFK 90.7 FM, KCRW 89.9FM, as well as radio stations all over the world including major Jamaican radio station NewsTalk 93FM.

By infusing elements of jazz, particularly big band jazz, into the contemporary musical mix, this group of Jamaican jazz gunslingers is rebranding the music of yesteryear and propelling it into the future.
