9 O'Clock Jazz Special for 7/8

The swingin sound of a Saturday Night Fish Fry with Caldonia and a 3 Handed Woman. It's the fun swingin' blues of Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five, tonight on the 9 O'clock Special.

Get your dancin' shoes because tonight Louis Jordan will keep things swingin with his fun combination of jazz, blues, and boogie woogie. Louis started on clarinet with his father's band. He played alto and sang with Chick Webb before starting his own band and topping the charts in the 40s and 50s. Listen tonight and hear what all the excitement was about when Blaise Lantana features Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five on the 9 O'clock special on K-Jazz.
