Louis Jordan - Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five / 5CD set

Over six hours of jivin' and hoodooin'! Remastered by renowned engineer John R.T. Davies, these 131 sides take US from 1938, when Louis was just formulating his act, all the way up to 1950, when he was the biggest star on the "race records" circuit.

Along the way lie such all-time great tunes as Ration Blues; G. I. Jive; Caledonia Boogie; Buzz Me; Is You Is or Is You Ain't (Ma' Baby); My Baby Said Yes; Stone Cold Dead in the Market; Choo Choo Ch'Boogie; Ain't Nobody Here but US Chickens; Open the Door, Richard; Baby, It's Cold Outside in short, every hit Louis had, all dished up hot and chronological-like!
