Pick Of The Week
Louis Jordan was a pioneer of the jump blues, a swinging musical style that bridges the gap between the big band era and rock ’n roll. In fact, when Louis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 he was called the Father of R&B and the Grandfather of Rock and Roll. One of the most successful artists of his time, he entertained audiences through records, film, radio, soundies (an early precursor to music videos), and his upbeat, riveting and humorous live performances and songs like “Saturday Night Fish Fry”,
“Choo Choo Ch’boogie” and “Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens”. In celebration of Jordan’s 118 th birthday on Wednesday the 8th I would like to recommend the outstanding 2008 documentary Louis Jordan King Of The Jukebox which goes into detail how he greatly influenced American pop music with his Tympany Five band. Their small size allowed them to be more innovative and stand alone in the Big Band era. He added electric guitar, bass with horns, dancers, and matching suits. These types of additions set the stage for future R&B bands. The blues singer Gatemouth Moore said, “He was playing … with five pieces. That ruined the big bands … He could play just as good and just as loud with five as 17. And it was cheaper”
