Uptown Review

Cover art for the 1933 sheet music of Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler's 'Stormy Weather' (from the musical production 'Cotton Club Parade') listed the cast of the show in a condensed hand lettered sans that typified the 1930s and the Art Deco era. This served as the inspiration for Uptown Review JNL; available in both regular and oblique versions.

The Cotton Club was a whites-only night club which showcased black acts, and was originally located on 145th Street in Harlem from 1923 to 1935, then existed for a short time in the New York theater district from 1936 to 1940.

After the Broadway incarnation of the club closed, its space was taken over by the Latin Quarter.
