10 toe-tappers including re-works of “Mojo Workin”, “L.O.V.E.”, “That’s Amore”, “Down In Mexico” and the title track. It’s a must for fans of original ska like The Skatalites, Byron Lee & The Dragonaires, Blues Busters as well as jump blues crooners Louis Prima, Frank Sinatra and Louis Jordan.
The Uppertones, founded 2015, is a powerful trio of trombone, vocals, piano, & drums leaded by the great Mr.T-Bone and dedicated to the sound of the 50's in Jamaica, the Jamaican R'n'B, Jamaican boogie, calypso, & mento.
The kick start to homegrown Jamaican music in the 50s came from American rock'n'roll and R'n'B (rhythm & blues).
At that time it was the birth of Ska, which originated Rocksteady, Reggae etc. This trio aims to please crowds with a stompin' swing style mixed with the Jamaican edge and style.
