Dupree Bolton

Jazz trumpeter, born 1920s in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Played in Bobby Hutcherson in 1967, followed by prison sentences resulting in an absence of 15 years.
"His few recordings reveal Bolton to have been a brilliant and stylish player; a mysterious figure, his reputation has, if anything, been enhanced by his tormented private life and obsessive personal secrecy." (Chris Sheridan, The New Grove dictionary of jazz, 1988)
