Description
Professor Emeritus of Jazz Studies (Eastman College of Music, Univ. of Rochester) Harold Danko pays homage to be bop's song-smith Duke Jordan here in an inaugural meeting with New York's rising star cornetist Kirk Knuffke.
Duke Jordan's distinctive melodies receive Danko/Knuffke duo's refined and creative reading and mingle naturally with their free tunes in between.
"Harold Danko's remarkable authority and heartfelt approach have been nothing short of an inspiration"- C. Andrew Hoven, All About Jazz
"This is a fascinating showcase for Kirk Knuffke's versatility. He can apply his cornet to a dazzling variety of settings." - Jerome Wilson, All About Jazz on 'Witness' (SCCD31859)
Personnel: Harold Danko (piano), Kirk Knuffke (cornet)
