Editorial Reviews

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. Includes "I’ve Found a New Baby," "If You Can’t Smile and Say Yes (Please Don’t Cry and Say No)," a medley featuring vocalist Ida James of "Is You Is or Is You Ain’t Ma Baby" and "Knock Me a Kiss," two versions of "Jumpin’ at the Jubilee," "It Will Have to Do (Until the Real Thing Comes Along)," "(Back Home Again in) Indiana/Closing," "Five Guys Named Moe," Jordan’s own version of "Is You Is or Is You Ain’t Ma Baby?" and "Re-Bop/Closing." A jumpin’, jivin’ Collectors’ Choice Music exclusive!

I would buy anything by Jordan, so consider me biased. That said, this is a fun, fun album, very 40ish, and the band is so tight you can't really believe it's a live performance. It's a lot of fun.
