Jackie Mittoo - Last Train To Skaville '2023

Tracks list

Jackie Mittoo is one of the most important artists in the history of Jamaican
music. As founding member of the legendary Skatalites, as in-house arranger /
producer at Studio One and as a solo artist in his own right leading groups such
as The Soul Brothers, Sound Dimension and Soul Vendors.

These classic and rare recordings were made in the mid-1960s at Studio One. The
Soul Brothers bridged the gap between Ska and the arrival of Rocksteady mixing
it all up with Funk, Jazz and Latin styles. 

The Soul Brothers recorded at Studio One between 1965-1967, the transitionary
period between Ska and Rocksteady where the music was a mixture of Funk, Latin
and Jazz sometimes with a reminder of Ska and the hint of Rocksteady.

The Soul Brothers were born in 1965 out of the ashes of the great Skatalites.
The new group featured ex-Skatalites members Jackie Mittoo, Roland Alphonso,
Johnny Moore and Lloyd Brevitt). By the end of the year the group were up and
running, releasing countless addictively catchy singles and two albums as well
as becoming the new house band at Studio One, following the demise of The
Skatalites.
