All of the vocalists on this compilation fall into the bracket of 'Blues Belters' with the music pumping behind them being known as 'Jump Blues'. Jump Blues, which started to bloom in the late 1930's, was the last new popular variant of the genre to emerge before World War II put a stop to almost all recording development. Here we have the very cream of the artists who made Jump Blues such a popular and influential style including Big Joe Turner, Jimmy Rushing, Louis Jordan, Eddie Vinson and more on a double CD set.
