Su padre, líder de la orquesta Rabbit Foot Minstrels, le enseñó a tocar el saxo y, siendo adolescente, permitió que se uniese a la misma durante los veranos. Más tarde, tocaría también con otras orquestas como las de Ma Rainey y Kaiser Marshall.
En 1932 se instala en Filadelfia y se une a la orquesta de Charlie Gaines. Tres años después se traslada a Nueva York y allí, en 1936, se incorpora a la Savoy Ballroom Orchestra de Chick Webb, actuando como saxofonista y cantante, en este caso entrando en competencia con Ella Fitzgerald.
Desde 1938 tocó habitualmente en el local Elk's Rendezvous de Harlem y formó un grupo que grabó para Decca primero bajo el nombre Elks Rendezvous Band y en 1939 como Tympany Five.
En 1941 graba I'm Gonna Move To The Outskirts of Town y vende un millón de copias. Durante la década actúa en varias películas y graba más discos.
Aunque en adelante su popularidad disminuyó, Jordan no dejó de tocar, tanto formando una big band propia como cambiando sucesivamente de discográfica (Aladdín, Mercury, RCA) en un intento de recuperar su sitio en el mundo de la música.
Murió de un infarto.
