About this album

The Boss Of The Blues Sings Kansas City Jazz is a landmark Big Joe Turner album, capturing the powerhouse vocalist at full tilt in the mid-1950s jump blues era. Released in 1956, it draws on the Kansas City swing and blues tradition that Turner helped define, pairing his deep, rolling delivery with tight, hard-driving band arrangements. Best known for songs such as “Cherry Red” and “Roll ’em Pete,” Turner brings grit, humour and authority to material that bridged blues shouting and early rock ’n’ roll energy. The record stands as one of his key statements and an essential document of post-war American blues.
