VA • Jump Blue-Rockin' The Jukes

 

Review by Becky Byrkit
1999 must have been deemed a banner year for the blues by someone at Capitol Records, issuing a passel of eclectic blues compilations in a month-long period on the EMD/Blue Note label. Jump Blue is a scholarly homage to the jump subgenre, characterized by sped-up high-hat tempos and lots of tight, fast horn work. This record jumps, too, all over the blues map of time and location, encompassing the vocal stylings of Dave Bartholomew ("Jump Children"), Helen Humes ("He May Be Your Man"), Peppermint Harris ("I Got Loaded," covered in 1984 by Los Lobos) and T-Bone Walker ("Teenage Baby"). Possibly the most eyebrow-raising cover: "A Fool in Love" by Ike and Tina Turner, recorded at the peak of their scorching funk career, certainly not known at the time for their contributions as ministers of jump blues. Other cool keepers from this disc series (which include a hearty helping of jazz and blues/jazz synthetics): Afro Blue, Blue Bacharach, Rhapsody in Blue, Blue So Funk and a half-dozen more.

Reseña de Becky Byrkit
Alguien en Capitol Records debió de considerar 1999 como un año excepcional para el blues, ya que publicó una serie de recopilaciones de blues ecléctico en un período de un mes en el sello EMD/Blue Note. Jump Blue es un erudito homenaje al subgénero del jump, caracterizado por los tempos acelerados de los sombreros y un gran trabajo de trompetas. Este disco también salta por todo el mapa del blues en cuanto a tiempo y lugar, abarcando los estilos vocales de Dave Bartholomew ("Jump Children"), Helen Humes ("He May Be Your Man"), Peppermint Harris ("I Got Loaded", versionada en 1984 por Los Lobos) y T-Bone Walker ("Teenage Baby"). Posiblemente, la versión más llamativa: "A Fool in Love" de Ike y Tina Turner, grabada en la cima de su abrasadora carrera funk, ciertamente no conocida en su momento por sus aportaciones como ministros del jump blues. Otros discos de esta serie (que incluyen una buena dosis de jazz y blues/jazz sintético): Afro Blue, Blue Bacharach, Rhapsody in Blue, Blue So Funk y media docena más.
