Meet Me in Uptown, The Mighty Blue Kings

Meet Me in Uptown is another Uptown-inspired tune by The Mighty Blue Kings. It's available as an mp3.

Meet Me in Uptown
Ain't no use in waiting 'round
You know that Uptown
It's the greatest place around...

Sounds like it should be an anthem for Uptown, doesn't it? Something to rally the neighborhood.

The Mighty Blue Kings will be playing at Schubas on May 2nd.

Jumpin' at the Green Mill, The Mighty Blue Kings

I found this great jazz tune called Jumpin' at the Green Mill by The Mighty Blue Kings. It's available as an mp3.

Let's go on out and have a party tonight
Ride your wick *
Put on your fancy clothes
We'll go to that place that everybody knows
We'll be jumping, having ourselves a time!
We'll be jumpin' at the Green Mill...

*I think they're saying "Wick," I can't quite tell!

Planet Mars was a popular jazz venue. According to several sources, it was where jazz legend Anita O'Day, who died in November 2006, had her first "legitimate" gig.
