The Toasters were innovators, creators, shapers of the music, evolving it in a fresh direction, blending it with the cultural influences in a very American manner, and I mean that in a completely complimentary way. Just as Byron Lee &amp; the Dragonaires brought professionalism and polish to ska, allowing others to benefit from the fruits of their labor, so too did the Toasters’ music allow numerous other bands to share in the spotlight of skill and success, many of whom have gone on to great heights. Upon the shoulders of giants. Oh, yeah, and they kick ass!”-Heather Augustyn, Author of SKA , An Oral History<a href="https://www.facebook.com/BumsyAndTheMoochers/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bumsy and the Moochers</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/chicagojamaicanjazz/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Chicago Jamaican Jazz Ensemble</a><a href="http://www.jumpuprecords.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">DJ Chuck Wren</a><a href="http://www.jumpuprecords.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://www.reggieslive.com/show/the-toasters-2/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Reggies website</a>
