Re: [Harp-L] Jump blues opinions

Here's a link for you:

www.hoyhoy.com

It's a wonderful site, full of clips from bands you've never heard 
of.  It's a very educational experience as well.  The author spends a lot 
of time chronicling the evolution of Jump, Swing, and Rhythm & Blues, as 
well as a nice piece on the origins of Rock & Roll.  There's a 2 CD set 
that, in my opinion, is a must-have.  It really opened my eyes (and ears)!

Essentially, Rhythm & Blues (commonly referred to as "Jump") was the last 
music released on 78, and was essentially lost to the world soon after when 
Elvis and others hit the scene, until it was re-discovered by some very hip 
folks in the 60's and 70's.

Give it a look!
