The big band era was beginning to fade, while smaller, rhythm-driven groups were creating a tougher, more energetic sound that would soon become known as Rhythm \u0026amp; Blues. \u003cstrong\u003eThe R\u0026amp;B Years 1946 Volume One\u003c\/strong\u003e captures this pivotal year with fifty superb recordings that document one of the most important musical transitions of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing pioneering artists including \u003cstrong\u003eLouis Jordan\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eWynonie Harris\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eRoy Milton\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eCharles Brown\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eThe King Cole Trio\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eDinah Washington\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eHelen Humes\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eThe Ravens\u003c\/strong\u003e and many more, this outstanding collection explores every corner of post-war Black American music. Jump blues, boogie woogie, jazz, blues and early vocal harmony all come together to reveal the musical foundations from which Rock 'n' Roll would soon emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than treating Rhythm \u0026amp; Blues as a finished genre, this collection lets you hear it developing in real time.
