Legends Of Jump Blues Volume 1 is a killer introduction to the sound that grew out of the jumpin' jive of the late 30s and early 40s. Noted for its emphasis on a heavy front line of horns, squealing and honking saxphones and a powerful rhythm section with a strong back beat, jump blues were long on danceability and short on subtletly. The riffs that Count Basie and the Kansas City and Territory bands developed in an earlier era were married to a strong dose of the blues and a penchant for the new "I Got Rhythm" chord changes favoured by the (then new) bop movement. Blues excitement was the name of the game and Legends of Jump Blues Vol 1 features plenty of it with Joe Liggins "The Honeydripper", Percy Mayfield in an upbeat mood with The Hunt Is On, Big Jim Wynn with the previously unissued Muffle Joe Shuffle and Lester Williams with the 1952 R&B ground-breaker I Can't Lose With The Stuff I Use (extensively covered by other artists, mostly notably BB King).
