jump blues

Jump Blues is a jazz influenced Blues very popular in the 1940s and perhaps the precursor of Rock and Roll. Jump blues was revived in the 1980s by artists such as Joe Jackson and Brian Setzer Bands who perform it today include Roomful of Blues, MoPac and The Blue Suburbans, Ray Collins' Hot Club and Mitch Woods and His Rocket 88s. In the 1990s The Mighty Blue Kings also played jump blues.
