"jump blues <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_%28music%29>", a
swinging, up-tempo, dance-oriented hybrid of jazz
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz>, blues
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues> and boogie-woogie
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boogie-woogie>. Typically performed by
smaller bands (typically five or six players), jump music featured
shouted, highly syncopated
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncopation> vocals and earthy, comedic
lyrics on contemporary urban themes. It strongly emphasized the rhythm
section of piano, bass and drums; after the mid-1940s, this mix was
often augmented by electric guitar
