Saturday Night Fish Fry - The Original & Greatest Hits [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED]
Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five were responsible for a slew of highly original and unique hits, full of great humour and Jordan's irrepressible personality, this combined with the groups slick musicianship and their driving beat, made them one of the most successful Jazz and Rhythm and Blues small bands of the era. This new Jasmine CD is chock-a-block with a selection of real class and genuine greatest hits from Louis Jordan, the man who crossed over the frontiers of Jazz, Rhythm & Blues and Pop, all mixed with his own brand of humour. 24 tracks, over 70 minutes playing time, the hits don't come bigger than "Caldonia", "Choo Choo Ch'boogie" & "Saturday Night Fish Fry" and what a bonus with Ella Fitzgerald's patois contribution to "Stone Cold Dead In De Market".
