Louis Jordan

Our local jazz station has a feature on the weekend mornings called "Rugcutter Swing" that's a real treat for the ears. I was listening a few weeks back in the garage, working on my MGB, when they played some Louis Jordan. I was hooked. This cat has got the rhythm, make no mistake. I went out and bought I Believe in Music and loved every bit of it. There's a website devoted to him and it's got a discography that I'm bound to work my way through. Here's a little bit of Louis now.

Very cool. It's always great to "discover" an artist that you really think is fabulous who you never knew existed before.
