Louis Jordan - Jivin' With Jordan - 4 CD Set
Well worth spending 5 minutes reading his Wiki entry if you're unsure about this essential download.
100+ tracks over 4 CDs, obviously all the favorites are here. To my mind, this stuff is the missing link between the swing orchestra 1930's and the early rock and rollers in the 50's.
Wtf they were smoking back in those days to come up with titles such as "You Run Your Mouth And I'll Run My Business" and "If You're So Smart How ComeYou Ain't Rich" is anyone's guess, but if I find some, I'll let you know.
Like this? Then also check out The George Washingmachine Quartet album I posted last year.

Glorious stuff! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this. Martin from Canada.
Everybody has kind of heard of him but hardly anyone listens to him and he does not feature on posts until yours -I don't think you are that far wide of the mark in your swing/R&R remarks..
Many thanks for your contribution to us out here
