Item Information Artists Name: ROBINSON, JIMMIE LEE Title: CHICAGO JUMP Format: CD Label: RANDOM CHANCE RECORDS City Hall Catalog Number:  14 UPC Product Code: 806013001429 List Price: 15.98 Musical Category:  BLUES Release Date:  2/17/2004 Additional Musical Category Notes:   This is a 1995 studio recording that is now seeing its first release. Singer/guitarist Robinson backed up Little Walter in his bands in the late 1950s. A long-time friend and collaborator of Eddie Taylor, Robinson also recorded with Willie Mabon and had a young Freddie King in his early '50s group The Every Hour Blues Band. Robinson was a bridge between the raw early Chicago blues days and the more sophistocated styles of B.B. King and Charles Brown. His singing is puncuated by his unique angular and jagged guitar lines. This CD features songs that he often played on his gigs but never put in his records with Delmark and other labels. Features Rockin' Johnny, guitar; Scott Dirks, harmonica; Sho Koyama, bass; and Twist Turner, drums.
