Louis Jordan (* Juli 8, 1908 in Brinkley, Arkansas; † February 4, 1975 in Los Angeles) After his sucessful stint at Decca records since 1938 as "King of the Jukebox" and a strong string of hits, Jordan's star began to sink with the beginning of the 1950s. Producer Milt Gable, who was also the man for Louis Armstrong's and Billie Holiday's careers, didn't prolong the partnership with Jordan, because a new thing was coming: Mister Haley and Rock and Roll. Louis recorded the next years for Aladdin, Vik and X, but without smashes for him. In 1956 he signed with Mercury Records in Chicago. The plan was a mashup of his old hits but with the new sound, hard-driving, fast and furious. The right man was responsible for the production, the still young Quincy Jones. He got together a team of very skillful Jazz and Blues musicians (Mickey Baker, Jimmy Cleveland, Sam 'The Man' Taylor, Ernie Royal, Charlie Persip ...), and the recordings became classics in their own right, as they were completely different from the 1940s originals. Mercury (US) released a longplayer ... and failed. In Great Britain, oddly enough, PYE issued the same LP in full length as a 10inch LP, for whatever reason. Hard-to-find today, this British issue from 1957 gives a great look on the "Grandfather of Rock and Roll" in a new bloom. A "must have".
