Italy’s The Uppertones is a
powerful trio of trombone, vocals, piano, & drums who play
pre-ska Jamaican rhythm & blues, fronted by Mr.T-Bone on
lead vocals. Their style is rooted in 1950’s Jamaica when rural
mento & calypso / folk music began to mix with boogie, swing ,
boogaloo, and American rock n’ roll. This trio aims to please
crowds with a stompin’ swing mixed with the Jamaican edge and
style.
Mr.T-Bone is a well known singer, composer, and trombone player in
the international ska scene who has released 10 solo albums in the
last 15 years and has toured Europe, USA, Canada, Indonesia, Japan,
Brazil and Mexico. Drummer Ferdinando Count Ferdi Masi is an
Italian ska pioneer who founded Casino Royale and The Bluebeaters.
Pianist Phil Cuomo is a very talented young musician, pianist and
singer from Genoa, his hands run like a Louisiana train on the
keys.
The Uppertones first album “Closer To The Bone” was released in
December 2015 to worldwide acclaim, then in 2017 returned with “Up
Up UP!” featuring guest vocalist Jesse Wagner from The Aggrolites.
In 2019 Jump Up dropped a Christmas 7 inch covering Luis Prima’s
“Shake Hands With Santa Claus” setting the stage for their new
album “Easy Snappin”. It’s a must for fans of original ska like The
Skatalites, Byron Lee & The Dragonaires, Blues Buesters as well
as jump blues crooners Louis Prima, Frank Sinatra and Louis Jordan.
The Uppertones forte is without a doubt their live set – the trio
has been touring non-stop playing close to 100 shows a year in 12
different European countries – hopping from club to club in
addition to the summer festival circuit. Catch The Uppertones if
you can!
