Description:

Eric "Shoutin`" Sheridan: Eric Shoutin` Sheridan (vocals); David Earl (guitar); Don Lerman (alto saxophone); Jerry Queene (tenor saxophone); Randy Small (baritone saxophone); John Wolf (alto trombone, tenor trombone, bass trombone, euphonium); Arthur Gerstein (piano); Russ Dunlap (bass guitar); Charlie Crane (drums). Led by the irrepressible Eric Sheridan, a tall, striking bundle of energy whose musical tastes and shouting vocals reflect his idol Wynonie Harris, the Uptown Rhythm Kings have survived numerous personnel changes since their founding in the mid-1980s to remain one of the premier jump-blues bands in the mid-Atlantic region. With a four-piece horn section, their sound is a throwback to the honkers and shouters of the late 40s-early 50s, when big band jazz gave birth to rhythm & blues. Bands from that era, however, used to vary the pace, cooling down the crowd with slow ballads. These are absent from the playbook of the Uptown Rhythm Kings; they might aptly be termed the Uptempo Rhythm Kings. This CD was recorded live in 1995 at a fancy but ill-fated nightclub Mick Fleetwood briefly operated in Alexandria, Virginia, just across the Potomac from the Kings` Washington DC home base. ~ Steve Hoffman
