	Jimmy Rushing - Music Downloads - Online
		Rushing achieved his greatest fame in front of the Count Basie band from 1935 to 1950, yet unlike many band singers closely associated with one organization, he was able to carry on afterwards with a series of solo recordings that further enhanced his reputation as a first-class jazz singer.
		The unquenchably swinging Basie rhythm section was a perfect match for Rushing, making their earliest showing together on a 1936 recording of "Boogie Woogie" that stamped not only Rushing's presence onto the national scene but also that of Lester Young.
		Rushing's recordings with Basie are scattered liberally throughout several reissues on Decca, Columbia and RCA.

		Jimmy is a Blues singer in much the same way as Jimmy Witherspoon; however, the instrumentation of much of their work is Jazz-based.

		Jimmy is recognized as one of the finest singers of any style of music of this century.

	Vignette: James Andrew "Jimmy" Rushing

		Rushing’s booming blues voice matched well with the swinging Basie rhythm section.
		Rushing died of leukemia on June 8, 1972, in New York City.

	Jimmy Rushing : Cat Meets Chick/The Jazz Odyssey of James Rushing, Esq. - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Jimmy Rushing's first two Columbia Records albums, recorded in 1955 and 1956 and originally released in 1956 and 1957, both have concepts behind them.
		The plot is silly, but it's just an excuse to have Rushing, sometimes joined by the pleasant alto of Moore, fronting Clayton's Count Basie-style orchestra on some old favorites.
		Rushing, in his early fifties, may not have the voice he did when he was with Basie, but his performances are spirited and his first-ever piano accompaniment on his own "Tricks Ain't Walkin' No More" is a delight.

	Jelly review: Jimmy Rushing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Jimmy Rushing was one of the great blues singers, the kind that did not play an instrument but stood in front of a small or large band and belted out songs.
		The interaction, the sheer delight of playing together and with Rushing, is palpable throughout.
		On the LP, the note has immediacy and punch, and the trailing sound hangs in the air while the drums kick in and Jimmy starts singing the title song.

	Adventures In Sound: Jimmy Rushing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Every Day finds sixty-something Rushing backed by a septet of jazzers (including Clark Terry, Grady Tate, Dicky Wells and Hank Jones on organ rather than piano) playing Oliver Nelson arrangements, the whole thing held together by the blues form itself.
		Rushing is good enough but rarely rises beyond hitting the marks.
		Admittedly there's always a certain detachment in so-called urban blues, a sort of irony at singing that every single day I've got the blues that's noticably different from the streak of gallows humor that runs through the Delta or the equal-roads approach of songsters like Leadbelly.

		I'm certainly a big fan of the three entertainers on this issue but must confess that the Jimmy Rushing appearance was the highlight of this DVD.
		Rushing simply sits at the piano and plays and sings his most beloved songs.

	Jimmy Rushing \| Rushing Lullabies
		By the time the 1958 and 1959 sides heard on this reissue (which combines the LPs Rushing Lullabies and Little Jimmy Rushing And The Big Brass on a single CD) were recorded, Rushing had been on his own for eight and nine years—and the Rushing influenced Williams was wailing away for The Count.
		This material (which finds Rushing joined by both a big band and small groups) is full of the type of unpretentious blues shouting he was known for, but interpretations of “I Cried For You,” “Deed I Do” and “Russian Lullaby” remind us that he was equally impressive when it came to standards.
		Rushing was 54 and 55 when these recordings were made, and it's clear that he was still in his prime.

		James Rushing is perhaps the greatest of the Kansas City blues shouters
		Rushing then fronted Benny Moten's band in Kansas City before joining Basie in 1935 as the lead singer in the Count Basie Orchestra until 1950 when it disbanded.
		With Basie, Rushing established a style of singing that epitomized swing: he created a wonderful tension between band and vocalist by singing ahead of or behind the beat and toyed with the rhythm.

		Jimmy Rushing - the greatest big-band blues singer of them all.
		Jimmy was the grand-daddy of all big-band blues singers, fronting many bands, especially the Count Basie band from the '30s through the mid-'50s, when he was followed by Joe Williams, and yet there exists not one biography about this singer/song-writer who started it all.

		Although the session was performed without an audience in a television studio, it sounds like a swampy after midnight romp in a wooden planked bar for inebriated patrons clutching their ill-gotten liquor.
		It features Rushing alone on piano that is raw and voice smoky, especially on the classic "How Long Blues." After each song you can almost imagine the applause and clinking of oily glasses.

		What I think Jimmy had that none of the other blues shouters had was a musical nature.
