Mr. Rocksteady Freddie Reilter

"Rocksteady" Freddie Reiter is a ska saxophonist who played in the band The Toasters and is currently in the New York Ska-Jazz ensemble. The toasters were one of the first bands in the "third wave" of American Ska and are the longest active ska band in America. Their songs have been featured in commercials and in the opening credits of the Nickelodeon show "Ka-Blam". His discography contains about 15 or so CD's, 3 of which he wrote or arranged songs for, 4 of which were with The Toasters. Freddie currently tours around the USA playing songs with past members of the Ny Ska-Jazz ensemble. I'm really looking forward to this workshop!
