unusual facts about jump blues



Bruce Iglauer

The Alligator catalog contains over 250 albums, ranging from electric Chicago blues and blues rock to acoustic Piedmont blues and West Coast jump blues.

Buddy Johnson

His orchestra remained a major touring attraction through the late 1940s and early 1950s, and continued to record in the jump blues style with some success on record on the Mercury label like "Hittin' on Me" and "I'm Just Your Fool".

Trad jazz

In Britain, where boogie-woogie, "stride" piano and jump blues were popular in the 1940s, the Humphrey Lyttelton band pioneered a trad revival just after the Second World War, and Ken Colyer's Crane River band added a strong thread of New Orleans purism.
