Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars More Jackie Mittoo greatness from Soul Jazz.......2006-11-30

Bless Soul Jazz for the amazing collections of instrumental Jamaican music they have released from the island's golden era. This great set fits right in with their releases "Jackie Mittoo; The Keyboard King at Studio One," and "Studio One Scorcher (volumes 1 & 2)." Those are three of the greatest CD releases of Jamaican instrumental music, EVER. Soul Jazz also released the more collector-oriented "Sound Dimension: Jamaica Soul Shake, Vol. 1," featuring rare cuts from that Mittoo-led house band.

From Soul Jazz:

"Following on from Soul Jazz Records' earlier Jackie Mittoo 'The Keyboard King at Studio One' comes Jackie Mittoo and The Soul Brothers 'Last Train To Skaville'.

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."

This is brilliant, timeless stuff. Check it out.
