I want to hear more jump blues - one of those streams that lead directly to rock'n'roll but wasn't quite rock in the 40s. Anyone have some recommended compilations?

not certain if he's jump blues exactly, maybe one step between jump blues and r'n'r, but i've been playing wynonie harris like crazy lately.

far from an expert, but i think Louis Jordan is kinda the kingpin of this stuff?

There's a terrific 5CD Louis Jordan box that's available for dirt cheap and well worth picking up.

Seeing via musician/author Daryl Davis’s public post on Facebook that sax player and Annapolis, MD barber Del Puschert who played with Elvis Presley, the Coasters, Jackie Wilson, George Strait and later with Davis has passed at 89. Davis calls him the “last of the great honkers “ referring to that 40s & 50s era of squawking jump blues horn players
