1028 Eric Shoutin' Sheridan "Live Show"
CD 10262 $14.95
"His suit was shakin', his shout was loud, his two tone shoes were flashin' and he
made my socks roll up and down"
Today it is both too expensive to take a big band out on the road and too difficult
to find a vocalist with a big enough voice to lead such a band. Yet there is just
such a group. Eric Shoutin' Sheridan and The Uptown Rhythm Kings are a throw back
to that age, and ain't you glad.
A calender and information page is at The Uptown Rhythm Kings .The Uptown Rhythm Kings' trombonist, John Wolf, has a small label in St. Louis, Bonehenge Music, on which he released a C-D of his jazz quartet.

1029 Tommy Lepson "Ready For This"
CD 10292 $14.95
Due to the original composition, the live feel, and four years of playing in the LZB,
we think there is a lot more of 'us' in this release. We hope you agree that's a
good thing and not just a dangerous indulgence. So before you play this CD you might
want to ask yourself -
:Am I ready for this"

Since 1990, Angie has been impressing audiences with her powerful live show and sophisticated
