Ein Audiophile über den King Of The Jukebox, der nach dem Ende der Swing-Ära das weiße Amerika auf die Ankunft des Rock’n’Roll vorbereitet. Der Saxophonist und Bandleader Louis Jordan beherrscht mit über 50 Top-Ten-Titel jahrelang die Liste der „Best Selling Race Records“ und beeinflusst mit seinem Stil die Entwicklung der afroamerikanischen Populärmusik bis weit hinein in die 60er-Jahre.
