Jump blues is an up-tempo blues usually played by small groups and featuring horns. It was very popular in the 1940s and the movement was a precursor to the arrival of rhythm and blues and rock and roll. More recently there was renewed interest in jump blues in the 1990s as part of the swing revival.
