The initial idea was to make a single-show program comprised mostly of jazz standards such as "Sidewinder", "Corcovado", "Four" and original ska tunes ("St. Thomas", "Man in the street") to perform at Sergey Kuryokhin International Festival (SKIF) in April '01.

The line-up of this band included the baritone-sax and percussion players as well as all members of Spitfire. The show gained much interest and the band went on playing live gigs on Russian club scene. The debut album was recorded in March '02 at Dobrolet studio in St. Petersburg and put out in Russia in the fall '02 on small independent label Zvezda Records.

In April '04 musicians recorded the second St. Petersburg Ska-Jazz Review album "Too Good To Be True". The material was much less based on cover versions and contained mostly tracks composed by the members of the band. The album is supposed to come out in the spring '05 on Shnur'OK label in Russia and on one of the most known European ska-oriented labels - German Grover Records. The first St. Petersburg Ska-Jazz Review album was also released on Grover in January '05 supported by the tour in Germany and Switzerland.
