| | Louis Jordan Jumpin' And Jivin' At Jubilee CD Louis Jordan Discography of CDs
Louis Jordan is one of those acts that you know must have been incredible to see live, so for those of us not lucky enough to see him (and for those who did and want to relive what must have been a wild show), here's the next-best thing-excerpts from two Armed Forces Radio Services ''Jubilee'' programs that aired on November 8, 1943, and May 22, 1944. Collectors' Choice Music exclusive! 2003.
Personnel includes: Louis Jordan; Ida James, Pha Terrell (vocals).
Recorded in Los Angeles, California on November 8, 1943 and May 22, 1944.
The material on this collection was culled from two live recordings made by Louis Jordan & His Tympany 5 for the Armed Forces Radio Service in 1943 and 1944. It includes many of his most popular songs, some of which remain favorites on the novelty-nostalgia circuit -- "Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby" (presented here in two versions, one sung by the delightful Ida James) and "Five Guys Named Moe" are among those. Because these are live recordings, they also feature charmingly hammy jive-talk exchanges between Jordan and emcee Ernie "Bubbles" Whitman before each track. Jump blues has always had trouble getting respect, both from jazz aficionados who find the music simplistic and from R&B lovers who find it shallow and soulless. The fact that the most enduring songs from the tradition tend to be novelty numbers doesn't help matters much. But for those who can put aside their musical snobbery for a little while and give themselves up to the pure pleasure of this material, Louis Jordan offers more fun than a dozen Charlie Parkers. And in case you think he and his band are lacking in the chops department, listen to them rip through Dizzy Gillespie's "Rebop" at the end of this program. Maybe the world doesn't need a ten-CD retrospective anytime soon, but compilations like this one will always be welcome. ~ Rick Anderson

Tinsley Ellis has worked hard since the early 1980s to establish himself on the contemporary blues scene. As a result, he has become one of the most consistent, and therefore quintessential, electric blues men. He's also a good songwriter in that he stretches the blues form as far as it will go, and occasionally he crosses into solid hard rock territory. On SPEAK NO EVIL, it seems as though Ellis has been listening to some of Robin Trower's early to mid-period records. And what seems to be at work on SPEAK NO EVIL is Ellis trying to push the blues form in a decidedly more rockist direction without losing its emotional feel. Check out the opening track, "Sunlight of Love" With its hard-driven wah-wah pedals and funky backbeat; one can easily imagine this track on Trower's TWICE REMOVED FROM YESTERDAY. Another ...

During the 1990s, archetypal early blues woman Ma Rainey's recorded legacy was made available on compact disc by several different companies. In 1994, Italy's King Jazz presented 94 titles on a four-CD "Mastertakes Collection." Not to be outdone, Jazzology/GHB's Black Swan label released a five-CDs set (as Ma Rainey: The Paramounts Chronologically) augmented with 16 little-known alternate takes for a total of 110 performances. Essentially the same expanded selection was packed onto five CDs by Austria's Document label under the heading of Complete Recorded Works. Curiously, many Ma Rainey reissues have focused upon her 1926-1928 period, leaving ...
