When my dad was my age, jazz was not respectable.
It played in whorehouses not Carnegie Hall. These
classics of jump, jive and swing are all from the 1940's
"Jumpin' Jive", "We the Cats" and "San Francisco Fan"
from Cab Calloway; "Symphony Sid", a Lester Young tune
with words by King Pleasure; "Tuxedo Junction", our
tribute to Glenn Miller; and the rest, all performed at one
time or other by our main inspiration, Louis Jordan, the king
of the juke boxes, who influenced so many but is acknow-
ledged by so few. Like us he didn't aim at purists, or even
jazz fans - just anyone who wanted to listen and enjoy,
Reap this righteous riff.
