23 de ene. de 2024 · Dupree Bolton, Amy’s nominal co-leader on the 1963 album “Katanga!,” now reissued on vinyl, is best known for disappearing from the public eye soon after the album was released, before he was able to cement his reputation as a passionate and inventive trumpeter.
As a bonus, there are three tracks added to the original album featuring Marcus Belgrave instead of Bolton, and Roy Brewster on valve trombone, augmented by a four piece rhythm section. I recommend this album.

Marcus Batista Belgrave (June 12, 1936 – May 24, 2015) was an American jazz trumpet player from Detroit, born in Chester, Pennsylvania. He recorded with numerous musicians from the 1950s onwards. Belgrave was inducted into the class of 2017 of the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame in Detroit, Michigan.
This is a small masterpiece; a perfect gem of early sixties soul-jazz, call it what you will. The six players seem to have met their soulmates over six short, beautifully played and beautifully weighted pieces. In particular, trumpeter Dupree Bolton has both technique and soul to burn.
25 de jul. de 2004 · Look for a very young Marcus Belgrave sitting in on three tracks from Way Down. Amy even gets to stretch out at length on the live sessions from The Lighthouse that comprise the album Tippin' On Through. The aforementioned Katanga! completes this package and the 1963 set would also prove to be Amy's last for the label.
