I took this picture when the Skatalites came to Tel Aviv in September. I never thought they’d come to perform in Israel, so it was a special treat to see them play at the Barby. I was not so surprised that they put on a fantastic show, since I’d seen them also in New York (2003) and Washington DC (2000). What impressed me tremendously was how many people turned out to see them and how the crowd really got into the music. I’m not sure if they’ll come back, but I really hope they do, and I’ll be excited to see them play in Israel again.
