Jukebox Jam!: Blues And Rhythm Revue

Jazzman presents a whole load of raucous, rollicking and rambunctious '50s/'60s RnB bangers, blues boppers, jukebox faves and rompin', stompin' RnB dancers. The Jukebox Jam club night began in Summer 2007 as a monthly celebration of the authentic U.S. rhythm & blues of yesteryear. Two years later, the club's founder Liam Large linked up with Jazzman to release quality short-run 7" singles of the often obscure R&B music which the club continues to thrive. Jazzman had already carved a niche for itself with the label's many soul and funk n' jazz 45s, but here was the opportunity to work a new furrow of vintage Black American music, turning an already clued-up and tuned-in client base of hipsters, diggers and full-on record nerds onto the seemingly endless charms of rockin' blues, greasy RnB, jump blues and popcorn. This album is the first full-length volume in the series. Founder and DJ Liam Large pulls together some selections from the 45 series and adds a further 8 songs. It's a set that manages to be both diverse and yet totally coherent in spectrum.
