uptown records Uptown Records, in the person of its founder Bob Sunenblick, has become something of a jazz missing persons - or sessions - bureau. The label`s Flashback series have released rare treasures by some of the more unsung heroes. Uptown has released “new” recordings by Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Kenny Dorham and Charlie Mingus but has also unrearthed gems from pianist Dodo Marmarosa, trumpeter Dupree Bolton and saxophonist Serge Chaloff and Lucky Thompson - Donald Elfman, All About Jazz PEPPER ADAMS The Adams Effect CHET BAKER Boston,1954 KENNY BARRON New York Attitude DUPREE BOLTON Fireball All Music Guide Penguin Guide to Jazz All Music Guide This may well be the first album to be issued entirely under Bolton’s own name. First up is material from a 1962 TV show, Frankly Jazz. Next are 2 tracks from a lost Pacific Jazz session and last up is some of the most interesting material on the whole CD -- a performance by the Oklahoma Prison Band in 1980. INCLUDES A 40 -PAGE BOOKLET UTR- 45236 / 12.95 € Pepper Adams (bs), Frank Foster (ts) Tommy Flanagan (p), Ron Carter (b) & Billy Hart (d). Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, June 25 & 26, 1985 7 tracks Baritonist Pepper Adams’ final album as a leader (he died 14 months later) ... A fine effort by a classic baritone-saxophonist. - Scott Yanow, All Music Guide UTR- 45240 / 12.95 € Chet Baker (tp, voc on #18), Russ Freeman (p). Carson Smith (b), Bob Neel (d). Live at Storyville Club, Boston, March 16 & 23 1954 & October 19, 1954 19 tracks This CD consists of 3 radio broadcasts from the Storyville Club in Boston. It’s easily recommended t to all Chet Baker fans. - Scott Yanow, All Music Guide UTR- 45239 / 12.95 € Kenny Barron (p), Rufus Reid (b) & Frederic Waits (d). New Jersey., December 14, 1984 9 tracks This CD was previously issued b as an LP entitled Autumn in New York, but this re-release adds an alternate take of “Embraceable You” and a dazzling solo rendition of “You Don’t Know What Love Is.” The pristine sound achieved by legendary engineer Rudy van Gelder is an added bonus. Highly recommended. - Ken Dryden, All Music Guide UTR- 124140 / 12.95 € Dupree Bolton , trumpet on all tracks, with: [1-6] Frankly Jazz: Curtis Amy (ts), Dupree Bolton (tp), Ray Crawford (g), Dolo Coker (p), Victor Gaskin (b), Ronnie Selico (d).

Most intriguing are four concise duets from 1946 (before Chaloff became famous) with pianist Rollins Griffith... The recording quality is decent for the period, and Chaloff is in excellent form on the boppish material - Scott Yanow, All Music Guide UTR- 126178 / 12.95 € CHARLIE CHRSTIAN QUARTET: Charlie Christian (g), Erry Jerome (ts) Frankie Hines (p), Oscar Pettiford (d).

Mocambo Club, Oakland, January 13, 1955. 12 tracks The first officially recorded date from an ensemble led by the brilliant jazz pianist Sonny Clark. Other aspect that makes this CD a precious commodity lies in the exceptional liner notes penned by Bob Blumenthal, as he tells the tale of Clark’s involvement on the West Coast scene before heading back east to New York City for his rise to fame. - Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide UTR-108242 / 14.95 € Allen Eager (ts), Serge Chaloff (bs), Charlie Parker (as), Johnny Carisi (tp), Dick Twardzik, Bud Powell & Mike Coluccio (p), Specs Goldberg, Jimmy Johnson, Bernie Griggs, Eddie Safranski (b), Morty Yoss, Gene Glennon, Freddy Gruber, Max Roach & Buddy Rich (d) 14 tracks This CD contains 14 rare and never before released tracks from the hey day of bebop, 1947 53.

UTR- 45237 / 12.95 € Tommy Flanagan (p), George Mraz (b) & Al Foster (d) Live at Village Vanguard, N.Y. , Oct.19, 1986 11 tracks The most fascinating aspect of the CD for me, and the thing that contributes most to its beauty, is that Flanagan has raised the profile of Thad Jones with gorgeous renditions of his songs, which are unfortunately rarely heard. -James M. Denson, Amazon.com dizzy gillespie Showtime at the Spotlite 2CD set Dizzy Gillespie (tp) Howard Johnson (as) James Moody (ts) Thelonious Monk (p) Milt Jackson (vib) Ray Brown (b) Kenny Clarke (d), among others New York, late June 1946 INCLUDES A 32-PAGE BOOKLET All Music Guide UTR- 124142 / 16.95 € Dizzy Gillespie is heard leading his big band in a series of live performances during the summer of 1946.
