	WFIU: Night Lights - News of Note
		The trove consisted of seven 12-inch acetate discs, on which was recorded a 40-minute concert by Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker at Town Hall in New York on June 22, 1945.
		The acetates were brought to light by Uptown's proprietor, Dr. Robert E. Sunenblick, an internal physician who splits his practice between Montreal and Plattsburgh, N.Y. - and splits his life between seeing patients in the afternoons and running a one-man record company in the mornings and at night.
		The first sound on the record was the voice of Sidney Torin, a popular New York jazz D.J. in the 40's better known as Symphony Sid, introducing a concert by the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet, featuring Charlie Parker, with Max Roach on drums, Al Haig on piano and Curley Russell on bass.

	SoundStage! Allen Eager - In the Land of Oo Bla Dee, 1947-1953; Charlie Rouse/Red Rodney - Social Call
		Robert Sunenblick, a Canadian physician, jazz archivist, and owner of Uptown Records, carefully compiled this collection of previously unreleased music from several sources, and it’s an impressive tribute to a musician who could have been much more than a name that crops up on recordings by other artists.
		He also painstakingly researches the recording dates and personnel for those sessions, a task that can involve finding musicians to confirm that they played on a particular record.
		The quality of the recordings on In the Land of Oo-Bla-Dee varies, but even the worst of them -- a wire recording of a 1949 TV broadcast -- is salvaged by a burning performance from Eager.

	CD Review of Charles 'Baron' Mingus - West Coast 1945-49 on Uptown Records @ jazzreview.com
		Consequently, these singles have been talked about over the years, but this is the first time they are collected on a single CD compilation.
		Uptown Records has done a magnificent job resurrecting these early pieces in which one hears the transformation of Mingus.
		In some ways, WEST COAST is a good metaphor for the post war era: seemingly normal but beneath the surface is lurking something new and different, eccentric and trailblazing.

		Many are too blind to see that he's ruled the music industry for the greater part of the last ten years.
		By the age of 18 he had been made head of A&R for Uptown, and was involved in successful albums by Mary J. Blige, Father MC and Heavy D And The Boyz.
		His involvement in the east coast/west coast gangsta rap feud, which pitched Combs and Notorious B.I.G. against 2Pac and Marion "Suge" Knight's Death Row Records, was an unpleasant distraction from his seemingly unstoppable assault on both the pop and R&B charts.
