Music Friday for Class Strugglers - Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five ~~ dmorista

Louis Jordan was one of the innovators, and he was among the earliest musicians playing the early versions of what later became recognized as R & B and Rock n Roll.  His music always revealed its roots in the Swing Band music of the 1930s, but he was ahead of his time.  The R & B, and  Rock n Roll of the late 1940s and early to mid 1950s would not have been the same without his influence.  Jordan was an American Original of the first rank.  There are some links, to 6 records and to a video about Jordan, at the bottom of this article.
