One of the chief progenitors of the R&B idiom and a pioneer of the small-combo "jump" blues style so popular during the Forties, vocalist and altoman Louis Jordan is justly remembered as a performer who defined an era. Gathering material from Jordan films Beware (1946), Reet, Petite And Gone (1947) and Look Out Sister (1948), plus a selection of different "soundies" mainly shot for the black cinemas of America, this video offers a fascinating portrait of this true visionary of music, who's songs sound as irresistible today as they did over five decades ago.
