I've been diving into taking on board some Jump Blues influence and have been seduced by the rhythm /groove . I'm all over Bill Jennings/Billy Butler/Tiny Grimes old school stuff and can't sit still listening to the more contemporary Mighty Blue Kings!! I love this tune and play along on infinite loop )) absorbing the groove into my DNA)
Any suggestions for other contemporary interpretations of the genre ??

Love this !! Billy Butler and one track with Bill Jennings working with Bill Doggett . Not contemporary recordings but if you havn't heard them they seem like a great place to transcribe some of this stuff.If your new to this stuff like me sounds like lots of classic phrases and ideas to take on board.

Ilike the Jump Jazz style a little more. Like the Bill Doggett example. Brian Setzer any one

Duke runs the gamut from acoustic blues to uptown funk, with a special feel for the swing / jump axis.
Here's a track he did with Jimmie Vaughan that wouldn't be out of place at a jump blues gig.

Love the Duke Robillard stuff!!!!

I don't mess so much with the Chicago blues stuff (-I always liked it, but I play flatwounds and rarely plug in, so there are no big bends on the road I'm travelin' ;o) but he's very good at that. Acoustic blues too.
I like that he teaches songs. Lots of songs, and a good variety. (By songs I mean: chords first, then the melody or riff, then a solo chorus or two, and maybe outro riff, or intro if there's a special one he likes, such as "Route 66" and so on.)

I hope you all don't mind me throwing this in, but this week during NAMM I will be sponsoring concerts and clinics Thursday, Friday and Saturday around Anaheim and Santa Ana. They will all have a jump blues thread running thru them but will veer in other directions from time to time. Tommy Harkenrider and Paul Pigat will be at all of them plus a bunch of special guest rotating through. No guarantees, but Kid Ramos often stops in, Nick Moss will likely also plus Tim Ielegems from Belgium and Ruzz Evans form the UK........... There's some info on the Grez Guitars FaceBook page, on Tommy Harkenrider Blues & Roots | or drop me a note.
All The Best,
Barry

I have been playing this all day ))) albeit not this smooth!! One thing that has become very apparent is that to play in this style you need very clean left and right hand technique to clearly articulate the movement between individual notes . I'm pretty sure I am mixing/mashing all sorts of jump/jazz ideas but ...... it all fits together in my ear

As promised, here is update, the 1st single from the upcoming album. The whole thing will be done soon!
I tried to project the jump blues vibe more than just copy licks, hopefully it's entertaining!
