Description
1985 session by piano great Duke Jordan alongside bassist Jesper Lundgaard and drummer Billy Hart.
Duke Jordan (1922-2006) famous for his intense lyricism embarked on the world jazz scene as a member of the classic Charlie Parker Quintet in the late 40s with his trademark introduction to "Embraceable You".
Jordan unlike many other American jazz musicians in Bebop era found his artistic and personal living space in Europe since the early '70s.
His extensive recording output on SteepleChase including this album from 1985 recorded in Denmark makes up the huge part of his discography.
"A most agreeable set that is both eminently listenable and very enterprising...Jordan was always a fleetly swinging but subtle pianist whose all-round musicianship has never got the recognition it merits.
This fine trio deserves to sell well and spared his name further afield." - Richard Palmer, Jazz Journal International
