Part of L.A. DJ Hunter Hancock's theme included the declaration "you'll hear music that runs the gamut from bebop to ballads, swing to sweet, and blues to boogie." And while on this fifth installment of Increase Records' history of classic rock & roll radio, the claim isn't strictly true, Hancock is heard guffawing in between an array of R&B hits ...

Big Jay McNeely
This raw, rollicking, wildly rambunctious live set by Big Jay McNeely was originally issued on Warner in 1963, simply titled at Big Jay McNeely. The big sax man may have hit is "prime" between 1949-'52 with his jukebox hits, but as the '60s dawned, he was still rocking his ass off. The basic band is made up of McNeely and his brother Bob (a ...

Birth Of Rhythm & Blues

by
Various Artists
While rhythm & blues has a pedigree stretching back to the dawn of the 20th century, it was only in the late '30s that smaller groups began jumping with the energy of swing and the spirit of the blues. The Birth of Rhythm & Blues, a three-disc box from Golden Stars, trawls through the subsequent decade and casts a wide net over the jazz, blues, ...

Central Avenue Sounds: Jazz in Los Angeles 1921-1956

by
Various Artists
Los Angeles is not usually seen as a hotbed of African-American musical creativity in the first half of the 20th century, but this deluxe box set deflates that misconception in a hurry. From 1921 to 1956 -- the time frame covered by the four discs of Central Avenue Sounds -- jazz of all kinds flourished on Central Avenue, L.A.'s main stem of sepia ...

Live at Birdland: 1957

Big Jay McNeely
An amazing artifact from 1957, when live recordings like this one didn't happen very often. A Seattle engineer with a spanking-new stereo tape recorder captured the contents of this disc while McNeely and his swinging combo were working out at a Seattle nightspot called the Birdland. He gets plenty of room to peel the paper from the gin joint's ...

Little Sonny Warner is the vocalist on some sides. ~ Bill Dahl, All ...

Jump Blue: Rockin' the Jooks

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 ...
