Thank you very much for both volumes of Rare Chicago R&B. Sensational collections! And thanks for taking the trouble to scan the acompanying notes too. Great stuff.

These are fabulous collections! Fascinating to hear '40s-'50s jump blues / R&B out of Chicago. The cuts here are fresh and non-formulaic. I wonder how this scene overlapped with the down home Chicago blues sound -- same clubs?
