Last Train To Skaville
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Jackie Mittoo was Jamaica's legendary organist and bandleader who shaped ska, rocksteady, and reggae from the late fifties onward. The Soul Brothers were his powerful ensemble, creating some of the island's most infectious music. "Last Train To Skaville" captures their ska-driven sound—horn sections punching hard, Mittoo's organ driving the groove, with playful but unmistakably powerful energy. Songs like "James Bond" and "Ska Shuffle" showcase their rhythmic innovation and ability to make dance music feel urgent and alive. This Soul Jazz Records reissue honors a foundational figure in Caribbean music. Essential for anyone interested in ska's origins and the infectious joy of early Jamaican music.
