JUMP. . . Yeah, Jump... it usually consisted of a combination of 5 to 10 instruments - Upright String Bass, Drums, Guitar, Piano, sometimes Horns and of course, a Dynamic Vocalist! These instruments were essential in building the foundation of Jump Blues music, and were used to define the form and feel of the music that we know today as "JUMP".
Who could forget the power and feeling of "Big Joe" Turner, Louis Jordan, Wynonie Harris, Roy Brown, T-Bone Walker and B.B. King. It was a happening' thang. JUMP had it all - it was (and is) able to blend many different musical styles, colors & textures. It is a canvas upon which one is able to paint clear and pure, color with tone. Many, were the times that the great artists from the orchestras of Count Basie and Duke Ellington would sit in on these small combo settings during recording sessions. Surely this was due to their love for the simplicity, purity and clarity of the Jump sound. One artist that was a part of that era is tenor sax player "Big Jay" McNeely, blowing on such songs as "Ain't No Rockin No More" and the bluesy, smokey, "If the Phone Don't Ring". The feeling is still alive, you just can't kill JUMP.
Rockabilly, a mix of Country and Swing, is actually just another variant of Jump. Many of the early 1950's Elvis recordings were a great example of this style. Back then, Tulsa was Jumping' with Bob Wills & his "Texas Playboys" a blend of Swing and Country. This variation used many of the same basic tempos and rythyms that were the basic tenents of jump music. Using the Upright String Bass, Drums, Piano, the Lap Steel Guitar, along with a strong dynamic vocalist, they built just as much a following as the Jump Blues artists did in the rest of the country.
The tradition continues through the artists and instruments of today. Like all art, you can take the original beauty of the form, borrow from it, respect, play, and continue to evolve it, using today's technology to create new variations while still maintaining that great feeling called Jump Blues.
