During the 1930s, Kansas Metropolis Jazz as exemplified by tenor saxophonist Lester Youthful marked the transition from major bands on the bebop impact in the nineteen forties. An early 1940s type known as "leaping the blues" or bounce blues applied compact combos, uptempo music and blues chord progressions, drawing on boogie-woogie from the 1930s.
