His woman left him, he's broke, and it's almost five o'clock in the mornin'. But don't be worryin’ ‘bout our hero, Nomax. Out of his '30s-style radio pop five guys named Moe who cajole, wheedle, comfort and jazz him with the whimsical hit songs of Louis Jordan, one of the most beloved songwriting talents of the twentieth century. With more than fifty top ten singles on the rhythm and blues charts, this great composer and saxophonist brought a popular new slant to jazz that paved the way for the rock-and-roll of the 1950s. An international sensation, the simple production design (a small band, unit set and a handful of broad, charmingly extroverted performers) belies an exhilarating, all-embracing theatrical experience, complete with some uproarious “audience participation” that’ll have spectators leaping out of their seats to join the celebration!
