Various Artists - Rare West Coast Jump 'N' Jive 1945-1954

Fabulously rare and important music from a transition time From Louis Jordan style jump to harder Rhythm & Blues.This 4CD set of amazingly rare music covers boogie woogie and the change from swing based music to the heavier beat of the Rhythm & Blues that would become Rock & Roll. Compiled by Bob Fisher from several superb collections this is not the same old re-issue material but a serious coverage of a genre and style that is rarely reissued.
