An overlooked trumpeter finally gets his due -- in this amazingly rich set dedicated to the work of the great Dupree Bolton! Bolton's best known for his early 60s hardbop sides with Harold Land and Curtis Amy -- but this may well be the first album to be issued entirely under his own name, and is definitely the first to feature such a wealth of music and historical notes on Dupree's life and career! The package is tremendous -- filled with copious notes and vintage photos, and featuring music from three different slices in time -- all equally compelling. First up is material from a 1962 TV show, Frankly Jazz -- featuring Bolton on trumpet, Curtis Amy on tenor, Ray Crawford on guitar, and Dolo Coker on piano -- playing beautifully together with a very soulful sound, on titles that include "Summertime", "Katanga", "Blues For Amy", and "Laura". Next are 2 tracks from a lost Pacific Jazz session -- featuring Bolton's trumpet with the angular alto of Earl Anderza, plus Hadley Caliman on tenor and Roosevelt Wardell on piano -- on the titles "Midnite Lament" and "Joe & I". Last up is some of the most interesting material on the whole CD -- a performance by the Oklahoma Prison Band in 1980, featuring Bolton on trumpet, with a hip group that includes Fender Rhodes, Latin percussion, tenor, alto, flute, and guitar! These titles have a slightly more modern soul jazz feel, but definitely live up to Bolton's legacy -- and titles include "Shackle Blues", "Chano", "Monk's Tunnel", and "John's Tune". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
