New single by Venezuelan Ska Jazz Messengers band, presenting ‘It’s Alright’ and ‘Aunque Todo No Esté Bien’. ‘It’s Alright’, original song by Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions (1963), adapted and arranged as main soundtrack on the Pixar’s ‘Soul’ film, and now colored by Ska Jazz Messengers. On the flip side there is a SJM own composition entitled ‘Aunque Todo No Esté Bien’, sung in Spanish, in the same classic Jamaican original Rock Steady / Reggae style with their unique sound. With heavy Early Reggae grooves in a Lloyd Charmers mood, a little bit from Gladstone Anderson and, of course, some traditional Ska, SJM provides a rich and fresh new cover of this great tune. This single has some collaborations as on piano, bass and backing vocals by Casey Beres (californian multi-instrumentalist and songwriter), as well as Samuel Fuentes doing a beautiful job on backing vocals and, also, both tracks has been mixed by top Argentinian producer and musician Esteban Descalzo.
