Jump blues

Jump blues is an up-tempo style of blues, jazz, and boogie woogie usually played by small groups and featuring horn instruments. It was popular in the 1940s and was a precursor of rhythm and blues and rock and roll.^[2] Appreciation of jump blues was renewed in the 1990s as part of the swing revival.
