The show features the music of Big Joe Turner, Julia Lee, Duke Ellington, Joe Liggins, La Vern Baker and Nellie Lutcher.

Directed by Otis Sallid, co-creator of Smokey Joe's Café, with the stylish vocal direction of Contrella Patrick-Henry and the musical accompaniment of Steven A. Taylor, Big Otis Jump Up Blues Revue is sure to whet the appetite and leave you thirsting for more.
