excellent posts, will return and read them thoroughly when i have more time. hope you are saving this stuff. i collect many of the names you mention, and i only really have one problem with that early jump and r&b, the ubiquity of boogie woogie piano. i can tolerate it, own moon mullican, but i wonder why everyone had to try it. it's such a cliché, i think. just my opinion, of course.
