Mr. Bassett's brand of swing and jump blues with a small horn section often contrasted with the rock-flavored guitar work of other headliners at blues festivals. Growing up near Detroit, he began playing guitar in his early teens and started a jump blues band with singer and pianist Joe Weaver while in high school. The group, the Blue Notes, performed at talent shows sponsored by local promoter Frank Brown in Detroit's black community. When the band won too many contests, Brown barred them from the competition. However, he paid them to accompany other contestants, including future soul star Little Willie John. Johnnie Bassett, a blues singer and guitarist with an urbane, jazzy style and whose studio work included the early recordings of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, died Aug. 4 at a hospital in Detroit. He was 76.
