New Grove dict. of Amer. mus.: secular black-American folk music of the 20th century, which has a history and evolution separate from, but sometimes related to, that of jazz; until the end of World War II blues recordings had been classified and marketed as race records--this segregation contributed to the development of postwar rhythm-and-blues, a term free of racial connotations

This heading is assigned to blues with voice(s) or for two or more instrumentalists.
