b/w MOP MOP
LOUIS JORDAN
Born July 8, 1908, Brinkley, Arkansas;
died February 4, 1975, Los Angeles, California
The Father of the Rhythm & Blues came out of the blues world of Brinkley, Arkansas, to play in Chick Webb's swing band from 1932 to 1938; he played alto sax and participated in comedy routines.
He began recording for Decca in 1938 with his own Tympany Five, remaining on the label until 1953.
In all these, he pursued a basic rhythm of Shuffle Boogie, later taken over by early Rock 'n' Roll. As he said, he "made the blues jump," and in so doing, influenced B. B. King, Chuck Berry, and Bill Haley.
