Mr. Jamo

“You Just Ain't Ready (Part Two)” (SSS International) 1970

by Wax Poetics

After recording a series of singles for the Thomas and Soundstage labels, Bahamanian bongo ace Jamo Thomas moved to Shelby Singleton’s SSS International label where he recorded this unimpeachable slice of bongo-laced funk. Though the A-side is slightly uninspired, the flip finds Jamo and company cutting loose for a frantic organ-and-fuzztone-saturated free-for-all. The B-side wins again.
