The more you listen to “Jump Children!” the more it grows on you. Finis (rhymes with highness) Tasby is a veteran bluesman who spent most of his career as a drummer and bassist, not a singer. His singing is formidably soulful on this CD, recorded with some of Los Angeles' finest blues instrumentalists: Rick Holmstrom, Kid Ramos, Coco Montoya, Larry Taylor, Lester Butler, Rob Rio and Woody Woodford, to name but a few. They really cook on 12 tunes that combine the down-home country-soul of Tasby's native Texas with a swinging sensibility so prevalent in West Coast blues. This was Lester Butler's last recording before his untimely death. Rocking, hopping, and socking are three active verbs that paint the picture.
