Uptown Rhythm KINGS Chicken Shack*Jump Boogie Woogie Blues

Gimmie somma' that...Amos Milburn, with a side of:
Roy Brown, Maxwell Davis, Paul Gayten, Wynonnie Harris, Jimmy Liggins ...and jump to it man!
Put this on stage, even PSB, in 1988 was being out there a little too far ahead of the "Martini and Cigars" fad of the late 90s, for our own good. Oh well, the people in the house dug it, and that's what counted.
This one is for the fans of:
Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson, Meade Lux Lewis, Smiley Lewis, Roy Brown, Tiny Bradshaw, Camille Howard, Amos Milburn, Johnny Moore's Three Blazers

But the band leaders/singers too:
"Big Joe" Turner, Louis Jordan, Wynonie Harris, Roy Brown, T-Bone Walker, early B.B. King,
Count Basie, Cab Calloway, Tiny Bradshaw, Lionel Hampton, Roy Milton, Joe and Johnny Liggins, Louie Prima, Joe Turner, Charles Brown, Roy Brown, Huey Smith,
Amos Milburn, Lowell Fulson, Ivory Joe Hunter
Johnny Otis, Big Joe Turner, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, Percy Mayfield, Jesse Fuller, Pee Wee Crayton, Duke Henderson and the whole roster from Cosimo Studios, New Orleans.
A world of thanks to a MAJOR inspiration ...David "Panama" Francis

NOT Mitch Woods! It is Uptown Rhythm Kings

[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.

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!

[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.

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.

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.
