4.0 out of 5 stars
Five guys named Tympany, March 8, 2007
The LOUIS JORDAN * LIVE JIVE CD is a French import. There's no liner notes, so it's impossible to tell the vintage of these recordings. Since it's supposedly the Tympany Five, they may be from the late '30s to early 40's.
Some tracks end precipitously, most likely to eliminate applause. There's no appreciable surface noise or distortion here, and filtering is moderate. Content-wise, there's only a couple of Louis Jordan's hits, but really, all his songs were interesting. He and band are in good form on this set, so if you're a fan of Mr. Jordan, LIVE JIVE is certain to please.
