I didn't realise how big jump blues was and how far back it went. I first got acquainted with jump blues when I first heard Rod Piazza in the late 80s when he had Junior Watson playing for him, then in the early 90s it was William Clarke (Alex Shultz on guitar), Little Charlie Baty, then in more recent times I discovered JW Jones at the turn of the century, and in the last couple of years I discovered Doug Deming. But of course, if it wasn't for all the great players of the past featured in this video clip, we wouldn't have the modern guys carrying on the tradition. Many thanks for sharing JohnnyCavallo!

[@bernybernstein]

At 0:26 the intro. There are elements of Hollywood fats. But no recording of that quality exists. Elements of Alex Schultz. But the style of recording cannot find. Also. I’ve listened to all of Jr Watson . Cannot find Hollywood Bop can u find the origin of this snippet. Truly amazing

[@JohnnyCavallo]

@BuleJugaManusia Thanks BuleJugaManusia ! What you say is touching me. I've made a 6th edition last year with 30 pages more. I'm sure all my readers are true Blues lovers. Johnny Otis was one, Dick Shurman too, my friend Mickey Baker too, and young musicians like Nico Duportal have recognized my book.

[@sirhilaryflange]

Yeah someone must know who it is?...come on!!!

[@sm1164]

@@sirhilaryflange It's possible it's Rick Holmstrom - much more recent player.

[@artmak818]

​@@sirhilaryflange Sounds like Alex Schultz mid 90's, sounds like the Rod Piazza band, but the drummer doesn't really sound like Jimi Bott, could be Steve Mugalian.... Jimi doesn't play brushes this way.

[@chrisgladstone4270]

[@geegstar]

Wow!

[@Wanderer123]

Hi, Very inspiring overview! I'm looking for a cd (preferably a large box set) on which I can find all these guitarists. Do you have any suggestions?

[@ryanreeves8931]

This book was written in French. Someone needs to get ahold of it (next to impossible) and get it published!!!!

[@RichardFeynmanRules]

Hah, this is great! Don't listen to the jerks. And good luck on your book.

[@JohnnyCavallo]

@snorrevonflake Hi, Snorrevonflake. I am not what you say. I'm not that Vanishing Guy & I often answer to many questions. The book is in french & avalaible at the author's home as a cd-rom PDF (printable).

[@WorkinOnAPonytail]

What is the track that Junior Rogers is playing on?

[@willhitentertainment]

What’s the second song on this vid ?

[@chizets]

[@MackMcDonaldOfficial]

What is the first song? I wish you had this book in English. I love jump blues and I wish I could read it. And also can you send me a list of the songs that you used for the guitarists? I have been trying to figure it put but I can't!

[@vinceluky]

[@bassbug62PB]

Who does the second tune?

[@JohnnyCavallo]

Then for the "Uncle Gil's Rockin' Archives" on the web , untitled : "The Fabulous Swing-Jump-Blues Guitar" (Bootlegger Records): "Bop-Chorus Masters"- vol.1, 2, 3 + an album untitled: "The Revivalists" + The Fabulous Swing-Jump-Blues Guitar of... Teddy Bunn (1 compilation album), Mitchell Tiny Webb ("), Chuck Norris (").

[@JohnnyCavallo]

Sincerely : I don't remember who is this guitarist and what is the tittle of this piece. Must be Rick Holmstrom, Charlie Baty, Johnny Whitehill, Luc Alexander, Duke Robillard, Kid Ramos, Anders Lewen, Junior Watson, Alex Schultz, Andreas Arlt, Hollywood Fats... As It 's an extract of a piece , it's hard to find in what piece exactly.

[@alejandrorio1976]

thanks!!!!!!

[@JohnnyCavallo]

The 1st song is "No Tittle Boogie" by Hubert Sumlin. No, this book is nont written in English but in French. I don't remember exactly all the songs I 'd chosen to illustrate by a sound extract any mentionned guitarist, probably the best instrumental of any of them. if you love jump blues like me, you'll find these great pieces easily in their records.

[@alejandrorio1976]

hello can you tell me who is playing the second song and you name it?

[@tonydavis6482]

Same here!.....great tune!

[@jpbmarshall8449]

A guess on my part is Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown is the first clip and PeeWee Crayton is second. Not sure if Eddie Lambert is mentioned in this collection of great players, but in case he isn't, check out his 1949 guitar solo in "Rock the Joint" with The Five Blue Flames. Possibly the most modern sounding guitar player of the 1950's. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2qVmmd3q9uqiNk

[@jpbmarshall8449]

Also, don't forget to check out the early 50's recordings of Howlin Wolf and listen to Willie Johnson's jagged, distorted and swingin playing that fit so well with Wolfs aggressive and gnarly approach. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKjRcouKZpiKidE

Phil, How can we get ahold of your book?

[@byronsmall2077]

Is this book for sale in english??

[@MinorScalesMajorFuckups]

What language you think it was written ?

[@msaintpc]

Pete Lewis taught me guitar and harp in 1963.

[@vinceluky]

salut de corse, votre livre est il trouvable si oui dite moi ou merci

[@snörre23]

are you the french guy who introduced himself on some blues forum (i dont remember which one) also writing about this book - and then vanished from the board without answering any questions? So - where is this book available? in english or french only?

[@JohnnyCavallo]

This book is a manuscript written in French readable & printable from a CD (Adobe Acrobat Reader PDF). I 'd renounced to post it to USA. Too much difficult !... You can find it in Europe only.

[@alejandrorio1976]

I would like to know which are the first 2 performers and songs heard in the video? thank you very much

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

"I have an immense respect for Rhythm and Blues early electric guitarists in the 40's. I recognize them as the real pioneers of Rock and Roll music." Singing about rocking over a backbeat became popular among black musicians in 1949, and it was even more common for that music to have drums, piano, saxophone, string bass than to have guitar. Bill Moore's 1948 #3 R&B hit "We're Gonna Rock" had no guitar on it, for instance.

[@JohnnyCavallo]

Yes, Charles "Chuck" Norris was a great californian guitarist. You can see his illustrated discography in the stephan .wirz. website.

[@JohnnyCavallo]

Hi gigram, Answer to your question: At the writer/painter's home, in France.If you're living in USA, I know by experience that's not easy (taxes, longtime shipping). But if you're not in a hurry, and if you really want to get it, contact Phil at [e-mail]

"The 'jazz' had been nothing but a sophisticated white concept..." No, not even close. Jazz originated mostly among black musicians. T-Bone and B.B. hired jazz hornmen because they respected jazz. Charlie Christian was a jazz guitarist. Bop was a kind of jazz. Bop in of itself had almost nothing to do with the rise of rock and roll. Christian's non-bop solos on hits were a huge influence on other electric guitarists in general, who typically ended up playing on some rock and roll.

[@epf1961]

Right you are... I couldn't believe some of the comments by the poster. It would help if people would educate themselves about music before spewing all sorts of misinformation that many unsuspecting folks may accept as facts. Jazz is black music, born of the blues, ragtime and other influences. Rock and roll was also an African-American music, born of the rhythm and blues sounds that became fully developed by the mid-late 1940's. White artists like Bill Haley, Carl Perkins, Elvis, Roy Orbison, Gene Vincent and others mixed r&b with hillbilly music to evolve rockabilly, which had the back beat that came to be known commercially as rock and roll. In the early-mid '50s you didn't hear black r&b on the radio unless you really tried hard, late at night, via tiny low-powered radio stations.. So what people heard (on commercial, white radio) were the white cover versions of black music.. This is why most people think Bill Haley or Elvis invented rock and roll, which is ridiculous, but it comes from years of brainwashing, prejudice, racism and falsified history.

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

epf1961 "rockabilly, which had the back beat that came to be known commercially as rock and roll." As of 1949 the rock and roll sound existed (e.g. "Rock The Joint" Chris Powell, "Rock That Boogie" Jimmy Smith, "Boogie At Midnight" Roy Brown, "Hole In The Wall" Albennie Jones, "Little Red Hen" Johnny Otis, "Rockin' All Day" Jimmy McCracklin), this new fad sound had backbeat, this new fad sound was top ten on the black national charts (e.g. "Boogie At Midnight" was), Erline Harris ("Jump And Shout") was already calling herself Erline "Rock And Roll" Harris publicly, _Billboard_ was using the language "rocker" to describe records such as "Hole In The Wall" and "instrumental rocker" to describe Jay McNeely (check out his "Man Eater" from 1948) and had already written about Baby Face Lewis's "rock and roll shouting" in 1947, and as of 1949 _no one_ had combined that rock and roll sound with "hillbilly" to make a rockabilly recording yet.

[@epf1961]

Joseph Scott Hi, you misread/misinterpreted my comment.. I didn't say there was rockabilly in '49. I mentioned that rock 'n' roll evolved from 1940's r&b. But the key word in my later description is "commercial".. Yes, I agree: There were many black records in the 1940's that had the rock 'n' roll flavor and even used the phrase in the lyrics (one of my favorites is Wynonie Harris' 1948 "Good Rockin' Tonight"). But this was still an underground music and was limited to, as you even mentioned, the BLACK charts, and black audiences via black radio stations and small independent record labels that dealt in r&b "race" music. As an exception, white DJ Alan Freed was playing the stuff on late-night radio in '51 on his "Moondog" show, bringing the black r&b sound to white kids (who dared stay up late enough to secretly listen) as an antidote to the "wholesome" crap that dominated white radio at the time..(and some say he was the official "coiner" of the term 'rock 'n' roll'.) But rock 'n' roll didn't become a national phenomenon, wasn't truly "born" in terms of being a commercial success, until 1955-56, when the rockabilly artists I mentioned (Elvis and Bill Haley especially, and also Jerry Lee Lewis, and a little later, Buddy Holly) brought their sound into the limelight. By "limelight", I mean major record labels and airplay on white radio. It was also then that black vocal groups like the Teenagers, Cleftones, Crows, Chords, Moonglows, Flamingos, Wrens, and countless others became overnight success stories when their music (formerly known as r&b) crossed over onto white "rock and roll radio." But mainly I think it was Elvis who spearheaded the transition of r&b/rockabilly to rock and roll in the mid-'50s, since he had "the black sound" but was a clean-cut white kid with good looks. Unfortunately this was the backward state of affairs in the US music industry at the time, otherwise any (or all) of the great black artists you mentioned may have become rich and famous bringing rock 'n' roll national recognition and commercial success a decade earlier!

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

epf1961 "a commercial success" Wynonie Harris's "All She Wants To Do Is Rock," for instance, was a commercial success in 1949. Number one on the national R&B charts. Kay Starr had a top ten _pop_ hit with the rock and roll recording "Oh Babe" in 1950, before Alan Freed got interested in having an R&B show. "rock 'n' roll evolved from 1940's r&b" As of 1949, the rock and roll sound already existed, Erline Harris was calling herself Erline "Rock And Roll" Harris, _Billboard_ was calling rockers "rockers," and rock and roll was still "only" a particular kind of R&B. "But this was still an underground music...." Top ten nationally on the black charts in 1948-1949 (e.g. "Boogie At Midnight" Roy Brown, "Rock The Joint" Jimmy Preston) is not "underground." "small independent record labels" "Hole In The Wall" by Albennie Jones was on Decca. Alan Freed didn't coin "rock and roll," and his show was years after black deejay Leroy White's similar show "Rockin' With Leroy," which many black parents didn't approve of because they didn't approve of rock and roll. (Lyrics from "Hole In The Wall," recorded in early 1949: "Tell your folks you're going to stay out late, tonight we ain't gonna hesitate/We gonna rock and roll at the hole in the wall tonight," over backbeat.) "mainly I think it was Elvis who spearheaded the transition of r&b/rockabilly to rock and roll in the mid-'50s" The Dominoes were being called "Rock and Roll" performers in print 5 years before Elvis had his first pop hit.

[@epf1961]

Joseph Scott Look Mr. Scott: I am speaking in general terms, and my comments reflect the accepted (and correct) order of events in terms of how the various genres developed and became popular. Of course there are no "absolutes" in music (or anything else, besides mathematics) but there are mileposts that have been agreed upon for delineating the history of any genre. You seem to insist on using your (obviously) encyclopaedic knowledge of the music to point out EXCEPTIONS, which is starting to become irritating and makes you seem like more of a know-it-all/blowhard than anything else. For example, "top ten on the black charts" (to quote from your last reply) WAS "underground" when taken in the context of a very white, very segregated 1940's America. And yes, MOST of the black r&b from the 1940's WAS released on tiny indie labels, or subsidiaries of the majors. Again, you pointed out some exceptions. And yes, while Alan Freed may not have invented the term "rock and roll", he is generally credited with "coining" it, in the sense that he was the first disk jockey to use the term on MAINSTREAM radio. And yes, it is universally accepted knowledge, and correct to say, that the elements that combined to become known COMMERCIALLY as rock 'n' roll (both black and white) evolved from 1940's (black) rhythm & blues and jump-blues, combined with early-50s (white) rockabilly. I really don't know what point you're trying to prove, if anything at all. I'm stating the general facts for the benefit of those who may be interested in learning something, and you're confusing the issue by attempting to one-up me with exceptions and nitpicking. Since you've chosen this annoying and pointless avenue of debate, I'll not reply further to your comments... You may then revel in having had the last word (gladly!) since that appears to be your intention.
