	Big Joe Turner
		Turner was a resilient figure in the history of blues -- he effortlessly spanned boogie-woogie, jump blues, even the first wave of rock & roll, enjoying great success in each genre.
		Atlantic's recording strategy wisely involved recording Turner in a jazzier setting for the adult-oriented album market; to that end, a Kansas City-styled set (with his former partner Johnson at the piano stool) was laid down in 1956 and remains a linchpin of his legacy.
		Turner stayed on at Atlantic into 1959, but nobody bought his violin-enriched remake of "Chains of Love" (on the other hand, a revival of "Honey Hush" with King Curtis blowing a scorching sax break from the same session was a gem in its own right).

	Joe Turner
		“Joe Turner is the granddaddy of jump blues vocalists, a robust shouter who in one turn of phrase can encompass the sweaty thrill of great sex, the dangerous abandon of a weekend bender, and the anticipatory rush of a roadhouse saxophone break.
		In those days, Turner's main gig was as a bartender, but his penetratingly soulful voice often could be heard in impromptu duets with the house pianist Pete Johnson, himself one of the best blues and boogie woogie ticklers to come down the pike.
		Joe Turner would remain a consistently strong blues performer throughout most of his long career, but during the sessions contained on this album he received some of the most sympathetic accompaniment he would get on record, at least until he was rediscovered by jazzers and young bluesmen nearly 20 years later.

	Jared's Pick - Album Reviews: Big Joe Turner - Boss of the Blues
		For a few glorious years in the early 50's, jazz, blues, R&B, and rock & roll were pretty much the same damn thing, and Big Joe Turner was in charge of them all.
		His band is a seasoned slayer, too - the pinnacle of the Kansas City sound, equal parts late-night smoky jazz and lowdown blues, with piercing trumpet, twin sax attack and moaning trombone that echoes Turner's swooping dynamics.
		The rock steady swing of the drummer and penetrating stand-up bass are a granite-hard foundation, but the high point is Pete Johnson's boogie-woogie stride piano, which puts some serious ivory flame underneath that backbeat.
