Customer Reviews

Best economy priced LJ out there!
This set is a requirement for Jordanites. The overall majority of the good stuff and then some for a very economical price. Of course one is tempted to compare this with the 5 disc-set "Louis Jordan and the Tympani 5"- so here goes: That set tends to concentrate more on the early stuff up to about 1950. This set has some of the early stuff (from the late 30s and early 40s) concentrating on LJ's peak years (mid to late 40s) and his big band and later work of the early 50s. In either case, anyone who is fond of good jumping, jazzy blues and floor-pounding funny stories (like his comedy ancestor and father's friend Bert Williams, Jordan was a master of the comic story-song), will do well to get this set.

My most prized possesion
This box set is hands down the best set out there. It has all the classics; sax a woogie, Caldonia etc and tons of great songs you have never heard. The sound quality is just as good as any of Jordan's other albums. On top of all that it is dirt cheap. i feel bad for you if you don't buy this box set.

Great Overview Of A Great Artist
"Jivin' With Jordan" brings you over 100 songs from the late, great Louis Jordan's years at Decca Records, roughly the late 1930s to the very early 1950s.
The music ranges from big band swing to jump blues and beyond.
Jordan was one of the most influential musicians of the era and is considered an early progenitor of R&B and rock & roll.
The sound quality of these CDs is excellent and there is an informative liner notes included.
As with every Proper box set I've bought, this set offers excellent music and a great value.
