"Early in the Mornin'" or "'#EarlyInTheMorning" is a song that was recorded by #LouisJordan and His #TympanyFive in 1947. It is an early example of a blues which incorporates #AfroCuban rhythms and percussive instruments. "Early in the Mornin'" became a hit, reaching number three in #Billboard magazine's #RaceRecordsChart. Jordan and his band later performed the song in the 1949 film Look Out Sister. It served as inspiration for #JamesBrown and #ChuckBerry.

#Listening to a collection of music recorded by Louis Jordan and friends, between 1956 and 1957;
https://yewtube/watch?v=l1eD1B0gNFA
Jordan was an exponent of a jazzy blues subgenre known as 'jump blues', one of the formative influences on rock'n'roll pioneers like Chuck Berry. The upbeat tempos and jaunty horn lines of jump blues likely influenced later styles like Jamaican ska.

Joe Jackson - Jumpin' Jive
Three albums in. Joe's bored by the whole "new wave/punk" thing. As much as I enjoy Beat Crazy, you could feel him trying to break free.
And so…get rid of most of the band but bassist Graham Maby, and do…40s classics by Cab Calloway and Louis Jordan?
The result? Truly fantastic, and as fun today as it was in '81. Had Joe decided to just do swing/jump for the rest of his career, I would have been delighted.
