"Early in the Mornin'" or "'Early in the Morning" is a song that was recorded by Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five in 1947. It is an early example of a blues which incorporates Afro-Cuban rhythms and percussive instruments.〔 〕 "Early in the Mornin'" became a hit, reaching number three in ''Billboard'' magazine's race records chart〔 〕 and has been recorded by many different artists. ==Original song== "Early in the Mornin'" has the structure of a twelve-bar blues with a strong rhythmic element. It is credited to Jordan, Tympany Five bassist Dallas Bartley, and Leo Hickman and has been variously described as a rumba,〔 〕 a samba,〔 a calypso-influenced song,〔 and a "Caribbean-flavoured number".〔 〕 As with many Jordan songs, it also has a comic element. The song begins with Latin-style percussion and Jordan calls out "Hey Pedro!...Where is Lolito?" After a twelve-bar piano solo intro, Jordan's vocal begins: :It's early in the mornin' and I can't get right :'Cause I had a date with my baby last night :Now it's early in the morning ... and I ain't got nothin' but the blues Backing Jordan (vocal and alto sax) are Wild Bill Davis (piano), Bartley (bass), and Christopher Columbus (drums). Percussion is provided by band members Aaron Isenhall, Eddie Johnson, and Carl Hogan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Early in the Mornin' (Louis Jordan song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
