Product note

Personnel: Louis Jordan (vocals, alto saxophone); Louis Myers (guitar); Irv Cox (tenor saxophone); Duke Burrell (piano); Dave Meyers, John Duke (bass); Archie Taylor, Fred Below (drums).
Reissue producer: Jerry Gordon.
Recorded at Barclay Studio, Paris, France on November 6, 1973. Includes liner notes by Fred Bouchard.
Recorded in a single Paris session on November 6, 1973, for the French label Barclay Disques, I BELIEVE IN MUSIC finds jazz vocalist Louis Jordan just barely a year prior to his death at the age of 67. In poor but not frail health, Jordan sounds somewhat subdued but hardly sickly. What's interesting about this date is that Jordan sings comparatively little, preferring to focus his energy on his under-appreciated alto saxophone skills. A blues honker in the Jimmy Forrest/King Curtis tradition, Jordan blows the hell out of his axe, trading lines with tenor Irv Cox while a hot piano-guitar-bass-drums rhythm section pounds behind them. Jordan revisits a few of his own classics, like "Saturday Night Fish Fry" and "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby," but mostly he prefers to explore other standards like Duke Ellington's "Take the A Train." The closing "Something For Louis" is a tender farewell to the recently deceased Mr. Armstrong, an old friend and cohort of Jordan's.
