When you look for truly essential collections of Louis Jordan, seek no further than this one. All of his best tunes are here, and they are reproduced in fine sonic form from analog to digital: and you can turn up the volume on them for your next, or future house party. One would be hard pressed to criticize or find fault with this double-CD of 51 sides -- it's about the best by Jordan on the market. 'Nuff said! ~ Michael G. Nastos
The most successful and influential purveyor of saxophone-driven jump blues, Louis Jordan was also one of the crucial transitional figures between the swing era and R&B. Although he started out mainly as a saxophonist with bandleaders such as Bessie Smith, Chick Webb, and Louis Armstrong, he found a niche singing blues and novelty tunes. After a string of hits throughout the 1940s, Jordan eventually found himself outpaced by the very rock & roll he had helped inspire.
