What a great jump blues band...they're really cookin'! Are these fellers American?

[ChristerDahlback]

Jump n Jive is just another word for rock n roll!

[TheJellyBellys]

I'm pretty sure this is Mitch Woods of the Rocket 88s. I learned the tenor sax parts off of his tape years ago - the words and the horn parts are pretty much the same.

[blues1mark]

The orginal was by Amos Milburm, back in the late 40's. Mitch did cover it on one of his early releases. Pretty much a staple for jum-blues bands.

[RichZuHaus]

This is actually not Mitch Woods. It's Arthur Gerstein. He in the crew are mostly D.C. guys, including the phenomenal guitarist, Rusty Bogart.

Rhythm and Blues was the term created at the time of Wynonie and Big Joe. Though it means somethiong different now. But that's what it was called.

[dunskie]

At the time , before the term "Rock and Roll" was ever coined, this type of stuff evolved from plain old blues or Chicago blues, to these types of "little big bands", with horn sections, made it boogie woogie, dance, and swing, and that's when the label or term "Rhythm And Blues" was made up and given to guys like Wynonie, and Big Joe and the like. Even though R+B means something totally different nowdays, I would call this real Rhythm and Blues. Great video.

"Straighten Up And Fly Right" (hit in '43) was a jump tune and wasn't a blues tune. "Chicken Shack Boogie" by Amos Milburn (hit in '48) was both, was a jump blues. Milburn was one of the most influential boogie pianists of the '40s-'50s and had more R&B top ten singles than Little Richard or Chuck Berry.

[fanrockroll]

What the name of the artist please?

[fanrockroll]

It seems rather like rythm'n blues. Pre rock n roll period with artists like Louis jordan

[Erico49]

this is not "stride piano." it's one of the boogie shuffles. stride is exemplified by fats waller. give a listen. bass-chord, bass-chord.

[spassgamer]

stride piano? Rather Rock´n Roll /Boogie Woogie I would say

[haleyfan]

I love to play stride piano!! This is good stuff!!

[njcollege]

He's not playing stride. If you notice his left hand doesn't even move an octave, he's just steady rocking blues fifths in the bass.

[ashepp3679]

Uh......... he's not playing STRIDE piano! Its got an ostinato bass (a.k.a. "Boogie Woogie")
