The Jordans were an instrumental band from Brazil that released a succession of albums from 1962 through 1971.

​

A passable instrumental cover of the Beach Boys' 'Surfin' U.S.A.' features a consistent undercurrent of bubble effects throughout. 'Kon Tiki' is a slow surf jam with Island flare. The loopy 'Dansevise' clips along without much direction, while 'Quartermaster's Stores' sounds very much like a Shadows tune with a surfy mid-section. The reverb on 'F.B.I.' is especially similar to that on the Atlantic's Bombora album. 'Gafard' is rather dull, while the listless 'Midnight' reflects feelings of the sunset hours after a long day of surfing. Sonically, 'Beat Girl' sounds as if it were recorded at a different studio and at a different time than the rest of the material here. 'The Stripper' is forgettable. 'Shane' sluggishly lumbers through its seemingly long 2:44 timeslot. 'Come On Train' is basically a sax jam and the Jordan's take on 'Harlem Nocturne' is laughably bad. Couldn't they have tuned that electric guitar before laying this to tape???

Sure, Surfing with the Jordans is an extremely rare slice of surf pop, but that doesn't necessarily mean it should be sought after. Some things are better left forgotten....
