Curtis Amy & Dupree Bolton ~ 'Katanga!'

[Jazzrook]

Playing my old FONTANA LP of Curtis Amy's 'Katanga!' for the first time in many years brought home to me what a great album this is. Wonderful playing from the underrated saxophonist Amy and the little-recorded trumpeter Dupree Bolton. Delighted to see that it's at last available on CD.

Thanks for yet another introduction from the past, JR. Pianist Jack Wilson's take on the McCoy Tyner influence is of special interest on that track - what happened to him? one wonders...

He died in 2007. His 60s Bluenote album, Easterly Winds, is ALL on Utube. Not that out of the period norm but some nice Jackie Mclean along for the ride.
