This Portuguese quintet plays its grimy noir-blues with Delta degrees of patience and Waitsian levels of growl. Heavy riffs swelter and drag, vocals wallow, saxophone fairly oozes, and we feel keenly how the blues are a fever you've got to sweat out.
Possessing a heavy jazz influence, jump blues arose in the 1940s and found its niche somewhere between the small blues ensembles of the past and popular big bands of the day, such as that of Cab Calloway. Relying less on guitar and more on horns and strong vocals, jump blues is rousing and upbeat.
Notable Artists: Buddy Jackson, Bull Moose Johnson, Floyd Dixon
