He was a saxophonist that played everything from jazz to rock and roll. Here's one of his works from the mid 50s called The Dripper.

Here is a video made of a performance in France. Jordan had suffered a massive heart attack and an extended absence from the stage shortly before this tape. It has many of his more well known hits.

I had never heard of him. Not a bad singer, either. Thanks for sharing, Rex.
