"He's joined on Uptown Cool by a large cast of musicians, including the horn players that provide the soulful funk that weave around and under his wailing harp. On this third album, Big Harp George hits a stride, rambling over a range of styles that feature both his laid-back groove and his propulsive blowing ... Uptown Cool is a party album, and it's even more fun because the vibe is so loose and the music flows so freely from these musicians who sound like they're having a ball".
