Happy birthday to the legendary Louis Jordan, born on this day in 1908! Known as "the King of the Jukebox", he earned his highest profile towards the end of the swing era… Specializing in the alto sax, Jordan played all forms of the saxophone, as well as piano and clarinet. He also was a talented singer with great comedic flair, and fronted his own band for more than twenty years. He duetted with some of the biggest solo singing stars of his time, including Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.
