1925-1936

Lonnie Johnson
Mr. Johnson's Blues 2:43
Lonnie's Got The Blues 3:09
from Lonnie Johnson Vol. 1 (1925-1926)
Blues guitar simply would not have developed in the manner that it did if not for the prolific brilliance of Lonnie Johnson. He was there to help define the instrument's future within the genre and the genre's future itself at the very beginning, his melodic conception so far advanced from most of his prewar peers as to inhabit a plane all his own. For more than 40 years, Johnson played blues, jazz, and ballads his way; he was a true blues originator whose influence hung heavy on a host of subsequent blues immortals. (allmusic)

Clara Smith
Look Where the Sun Done Gone 3:06
Jelly Bean Blues (Lina Arant / Ma Rainey) 2:58
Whip It to a Jelly 3:11
from Clara Smith Vol. 4 (1926-1927)
One of the legendary unrelated Smith singers of the 1920s, Clara Smith was never on Bessie's level or as significant as Mamie but she had something of her own to offer. She began working on the theatre circuit and in vaudeville around 1910, learning her craft during the next 13 years while traveling throughout the South...

Although renowned as one of the world's great practical jokers (he once called a couple dozen bass players with an alleged gig and asked them to show up with their instruments at a busy street corner just so he could view the resulting chaos), Joe Venuti's real importance to jazz is as improvised music's first great violinist. He was a boyhood friend of Eddie Lang (jazz's first great guitarist) and the duo teamed up in a countless number of settings during the second half of the 1920s, including recording influential duets.
Joe Venuti
Black and Blue Bottom (Eddie Lang / Joe Venuti) 2:45
Wild Cat (Eddie Lang / Joe Venuti) 2:57
Dinah (Harry Akst / Sam M. Lewis / Joe Young) 2:51
from Complete Jazz Series 1926 - 1928
This particular slice of the Joe Venuti & Eddie Lang chronology presents some of their all-time best instrumental performances garnished with a small bouquet of precious novelties...  Venuti's lyrically inspired handling of the violin and Lang's virtuosic guitar still sound surprisingly fresh and imaginative. These earliest Venuti and Lang collaborations exude a special sort of positive energy that is unique in all of classic jazz. Some of the instrumental tracks feel like well-organized, improvised hot chamber music...

Eddie Lang and Joe Venuti

Blind Lemon Jefferson - Matchbox Blues 3:03
The Allen Brothers - Ain't That Skippin' And Flyin'? 3:02
Jelly Roll Morton - Georgia Swing 2:32
Honolulu Serenaders - Honolulu Stomp  3:25
from The Genesis of Rock 'n' Roll - Vol. 1: Roots 1 (1927-1929)
Rock and roll emerged as a defined musical style in the United States in the early to mid-1950s. It derived most directly from the rhythm and blues music of the 1940s, which itself developed from earlier blues, boogie woogie, jazz and swing music, and was also influenced by gospel, country and western, and traditional folk music. Rock and roll in turn provided the main basis for the music that, since the mid-1960s, has been generally known simply as rock music.
The phrase "rocking and rolling" originally described the movement of a ship on the ocean, but it was used by the early 20th century, both to describe a spiritual fervor and as a sexual analogy. Various gospel, blues and swing recordings used the phrase before it became used more frequently – but still intermittently – in the late 1930s and 1940s, principally on recordings and in reviews of what became known as "rhythm and blues" music aimed at black audiences. In 1951, Cleveland-based disc jockey Alan Freed began playing this music style while popularizing the term "rock and roll" to describe it... (WikipediA)
