[Handbill]: Teddy Powell Presents A Cabaret Party & Dance at Laurel Garden. Newark, N.J. Saturday, March 13th, 1954. Featuring Louis Jordan

Descripción

Handbill. Measuring 6" x 9". Old folds, very good. A show featuring Louis Jordan, although often overlooked today, one of the most popular performers of the era between the late 1930s and the early 1950s. Jordan combined jump and jazz and was a prominent figure in the development of R&B, one of the main strands that intertwined in the early 1950s to create rock-n-roll. In many ways his jump-style music with shouted lyrics or semi-spoken delivery was also a very early progenitor of rap music. Second billed in this show were The Harp-Tones with Willie Winfield, an influential Doo-Wop group formed in 1951. Bandleader Teddy Powell was also a composer and guitarist, and later a music publisher and promoter. A pleasing artifact from the confluence of musical styles that combined to make rock-n-roll. If you don't believe in the importance of Jordan, take a trip to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where he is referred to as "the Father of Rhythm & Blues" and "the Grandfather of Rock â n' Roll," or consult *Rolling Stone* magazine, which ranked him as number 59 on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
