New York Ska Jazz Ensemble-Take Five

La North East Ska*Jazz Orchestra nasce dall’ammirazione e dalla passione per la musica ska-jazz di tre giovani musicisti: Roberto Amadeo, Max Ravanello e Stefano Salmaso. 
Tutti provenienti da varie esperienze nell’ambito della musica caraibica (ska-rocksteady-reggae), e consapevoli del crescente interesse delle nuove generazioni nei confronti della musica in levare, tentano di unire le molte piccole realtà del Friuli Venezia Giulia in un solo e unico energico gruppo! Nasce così, nell’autunno del 2011, un’esplosiva big band che propone i più affascinanti standard jazz con le calde ed incisive sonorità tipiche della musica jamaicana, sullo stile di storici gruppi come Skatalities e Jazz Jamaica All Stars.
L’ensemble comprende persone provenienti da ogni parte della regione, da Pordenone a Trieste, e proprio per questo, oltre che essere un’”orchestra dal suono esclusivo”, rappresenta un importante punto di incontro tra musicisti esordienti e più navigati, in cui ognuno può dare voce alle proprie idee, esprimersi in piena libertà e mettersi in contatto con persone altrimenti molto distanti…tutti fattori determinanti per creare un unico grande contesto musicale in grado di spaziare dallo ska al reggae, generi in grande fermento, sino alle più ricercate sonorità del jazz. 

Grazie al video "Take Five", un'arrangiamento del famoso brano di P. Desmond, è nato il "featuring" con il trombonista di fama internazionale Mr. T-Bone;

---> Dopo una serie di live, ciò si concretizza nel primo lavoro discografico per la big band friulana: 
I primi di Maggio vengono pubblicati un E.P. realizzato in collaborazione con l'associazione Time For Africa, un video di un singolo tratto dal suddetto cd e un vinile dedicato al progetto "Mr. T-Bone meets North East Ska*Jazz Orchestra.

The Skatalites - James Bond Theme Song Live

The North East Ska Jazz Orchestra is an 18 piece big band formed in the summer of 2012 with the intent to bring together the many people in the north east of Italy who were professionally active in the Jamaican and Afro-American music scene. The NESJO immediately received a lot of positive feedback thanks to collaborations with three important representatives of ska and reggae music in Italy: Mr. T- Bone (Africa Unite, Bluebeaters, Uppertones), Furio (Pitura Freska, Ska-J) e Olly Riva (Shandon, The Fire). The NESJO also achieved three million views on youtube with the official videoclip ''Take 5'' and six million views with ''Mama'' feat. Wicked Dub Division. In the spring of 2014 the first EP “Music for Marikana” was issued thanks to the support of Time for Africa association, with which the band collaborated in building a center for culture and education in the center of Marikana, a mining area of Africa. In 2015 the band released its first record “Stomping and Rolling” thanks to a crowdfunding to which the public responded excellently. The album was recorded in Studio Jork in Koper (Slovenia), mixed and mastered at the Volcano Lounge, Sherman Oaks (California) by Brian Dixon and published and distributed by Brixton Records (Bilbao, Spain). The band started touring regularly from the summer of 2016 and played in Italy, France, Spain,  Netherlands, Germany, Slovenia and Croatia, participating in important festivals such as Rototom Sunsplash. In 2017 a 7 inch vinyl single was released with the collaboration of two of the most representative and  important artists in the ska genre: Fred Reiter (New York Ska Jazz Ensemble) e David Hillyard (Slackers, Rocksteady 7). In 2019 a brand new album called ''North East Ska Jazz Orchestra'', which include only original songs, was released and published by Brixton Records.
