keberoxu in praise of Louis Jordan (1908-1975) (16) RE: in praise of Louis Jordan (1908-1975) 06 Feb 17


Did you know that Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five were behind this song?

"Beware, Brother, Beware"

It seems safe to guess that all the calling back and forth between Jordan and the rest of the Tympany Five was rehearsed ahead of time so that it would SOUND spontaneous but fit in smoothly with the singing and the playing.

Louis Prima would do the same thing in Vegas decades later.

It still works! I love the band members yelling, "Tell him EV'RYTHING!"
