Jazz. Rhythm and Blues. Swing. Pop. Rock and Roll. Just where would you categorise Louis Jordan ? Well, just about everywhere, I think. What ever the music was that he was making in the Forties and early Fifties, it influenced nearly everyone around him, and at least one future genration too. Amusing story-telling songs, all delivered with a panashe and a humour reminiscent, in part, of Fats Waller, further enhanced by his precise, clear diction, and usually embellished with his swinging alto sax solo's, Louis Jordan was a musical giant of his time. This is as close to a "Best Of" that you could get on one CD, and there is very little here to disappoint. His output was extensive. His success, especially in the R and B charts was legendary. And his overall influence was enormous. If you are unfamiliar with Louis Jordan, or just want to remind yourself how great he was, this is the place to start. Oh, and yes. Bearing in mind you are listening to music, most of which was laid down around 50 years ago, the sound quality is excellent too.

Most people under 50 years old may not be into jazz but if you are trying to learn about what got people dancing before R&B then this is vital. Watching "Strictly Come Dancing" on BBC TV was good when they danced to one of these tracks. I would love Louis to get a hit in these modern times; hip hop owes him some credit for his unique beats and his way with words.
