Album Notes
Part of Circle Records' chronological reissue of all of Louis Jordan's released masters, the 24-track compilation 1944-45 covers the very beginning of Louis Jordan's golden age. Though most of Jordan's most famous songs were written and recorded in the late '40s, Jordan's jump blues aesthetic was already fully formed. Although Jordan was mistakenly lumped in with the swing era during the short-lived swing revival of the late '90s, his raucous, R&B-influenced jump blues style is a somewhat later development. Think of Louis Jordan as the missing link between swing and early rock and roll. On the other hand, one doesn't have much time to think when this disc is playing; there's too much dancing to be done. Highlights include the classics "Five Guys Named Moe" and "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby," both of which would become Jordan's signature tunes, and the sassy "I Like 'Em Fat Like That."
