Clifford Jordan & John Gilmore • Blowing In From Chicago

Review
by Scott Yanow
Clifford Jordan's first date as a leader actually found him sharing a heated jam session with fellow tenor John Gilmore. Backed by pianist Horace Silver, bassist Curly Russell, and drummer Art Blakey, the two saxophonists square off mostly on obscurities (other than Gigi Gryce's "Blue Lights" and "Billie's Bounce"). This was one of Gilmore's few sessions outside of Sun Ra's orbit and, if anything, he slightly overshadows the cooler-toned Jordan. Recommended.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
La primera cita de Clifford Jordan como líder le encontró compartiendo una acalorada jam session con su compañero tenor John Gilmore. Respaldado por el pianista Horace Silver, el bajista Curly Russell y el baterista Art Blakey, los dos saxofonistas se enfrentaron en su mayor parte con obscuridades (aparte de "Blue Lights" y "Billie's Bounce" de Gigi Gryce). Esta fue una de las pocas sesiones de Gilmore fuera de la órbita de Sun Ra y, en todo caso, eclipsa ligeramente a Jordan, de tono más frío. Recomendado.
