Ska’s the limit

“Space Flight”   Carlos Malcolm and His Afro-Jamaican Rhythms (“The Sound of the Soil”)   Carlos plays Trombone and (little did I know til just now) wrote most of the incidental music to the James Bond movie “Dr. No”     He had a big mid-sixties hit with his version of the “Bonanza” TV Theme called…”Bonanza Ska”   I like his song “No Jestering” a hit in 1974.   And who can forget his other million seller, “Fattie Bum Bum”.

    Yes, “Fattie Bum Bum” is a classic, but I also really like “No Jestering.” Funny, my version says it’s by Carl Malcolm, but it looks like the original lists Carlos. Either way, it’s a killer–no jestering!

    I notice the credit of “Audley Williams” on bass guitar. I have the album “Hip-Hug-Her ’69″ by Audley Williams, but it shows him playing vibes.
