Drummer (name on drum ABOVE Louis Jordan's!) was Joseph Christopher Columbus Morris, better known as Crazy Chris Columbo. Who lived to see his 100th birthday! He would have been 64 when this was recorded.
Louis Jordan was 58 years old and rockin' good. A lovely clip, despite the limitations of the TV format, the band was allowed to play on - solo after solo, demonstrating the excellence of the musicianship.
@@MichaelDembinski I realized he's not left handed so not Otis talented group.... I went from this to Mabel Lee :) now trying to find a song I saw this woman perform talking about rock me like my back ain't got no bone, I think tbone walker was playing guitar for her but idk good old stuff
Jump Blues was the "rock & roll" for black artists; a lot of Jordan's material was lifted by early "white bread" rock & roll groups. Louis always had first class musicians in his group. He passed in 1975 at the age of 66.
(from Wikipedia) In 1941, they were transferred from Decca's "race" label to its Sepia Series, featuring artists thought to have the crossover potential to appeal to both black and white audiences. Jordan was always proud of the fact that the Tympany Five's music was just as popular with white as it was with black people.
Bob Mabane on tenor, former Jay McShann Band sax section member with Charlie Parker (and John Jackson). And the drummer is the father of Basie drummer Sonny Payne.
@@janetcovington2304he was a hell of a tenor sax player... I've been learning this solo on my tenor and playing it over and over so many times I feel like I'm playing along your with your dad
I'll be damned. Maybe it is...upon closer inspection. The video looks like it might be from about 1970...which would've made him only about sixty, here. I guess I stand corrected.
It is Louis Jordan. It's from the syndicated TV show "The!!!! Beat" from 1966. He was on several times. All of them are on DVD released by Bear Family.

Wow. They were actually playing their instruments! Nobody was slacking either. Jazzers just stand by and watch...
The #1 R&B act of the '40s, still going strong in 1966!
Louis Jordan Was The Grandfather Of Rock And Roll!
He was a fellow Arkansasan from Marvell, Ar.
I have been saying that for 30 years or more ! Thank you
Louis and T-Bone
He certainly deserves more credit for being an early R&R early stars.
+Dave Russell YES, AND, piano men Pete Johnson, Albert Ammons, and Mead Lux-Lewis, who invented rocknroll in the 1930's !!

It's amazing how much better the musical variety shows were back in the day.. even the straight ahead jazz programs... Just fantastic
The one and only, one of a kind! Truly original, never duplicated, nor properly copied; Louis Jordan, and his Tympany 5!
I can't stop playing ram-bunk-skush and I love the woman dancing in the beginning

great rock and roll
From the Beat! with Hoss Allen in 1966.
Check out his stuff from the 40s. That was his heyday.
moving music
Quality!
This is awesome, thanks for posting it. Can anyone please name the other musicians playing w/Louis here, and the sweet dancer lady?
Is that Bill Doggett on the organ and Billy Butler on guitar...?
Playing LIVE rather than pantomime like most shows in the 60s.
Leo Blevins in the guitar
oh yeah there was some Ram Bunk sKush alright
I'm surprised no one named the guitar yet.
Burgundy mist strat ;)

Who is the guitar player?
Possibly Bert Payne, but I don't know for sure. He smokes though.
The guitarist is Leo Blevins!
Looks like the late 1960s if you ask me.🤨🤔🙄
"Shush."
Is that Otis rush on guitar?!?!
Nevermind Otis is left handed?
That is NOT Louis Jordan.
Uh...yes it most certainly IS Louis Jordan.
