About "Stidham Jumps" by Arbee Stidham W/Lucky Millinder's Orchestra
A jump-blues locomotive: Stidham leaps, Lucky Millinder's horns punch like brass knuckles. The title evokes a vaudeville stunt—calm swagger masking frantic footwork. Swing rhythm, sly vocal, a tightrope walk between abandon and control. Pure postwar R&B propulsion, no folk in sight.
