The accurately titled Cool Blues, Jumps & Shuffles is a good overview of Saunders King's career containing 25 tracks from 1942-1954, though it's slightly flawed in that it draws exclusively from his Rhythm and Modern recordings. Those do comprise the bulk of his sessions, but this doesn't include anything from the sides he cut for a few other companies. Still, it does have both parts of his 1942 hit "S.K. Blues," as well as his pair of 1949 R&B hits, "Empty Bedroom Blues" and "Stay Gone Blues." As a whole, the disc shows King to be an underrated, somewhat forgotten period in swing jazz's crossover to the jump blues and guitar R&B that got into vogue just after World War II. There's less of his Charlie Christian-like electric guitar (though he was bluesier than Christian) than you might expect. Indeed, most of the solos are taken by horns rather than the guitar, and "Swingin'" gets closer to bop jazz than R&B or blues. Too, much of the material (largely written by King himself) stuck to similar basic blues chord progressions on mid-tempo numbers and ballads. He was nonetheless a pleasing, smooth blues-jazz vocalist, fronting groups of solid players, though one wishes he got to stretch out more as a guitar soloist, as he does on "SK Jumps Pt. 2."
