Duke Jordan • Flight To Jordan

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
Duke Jordan, who played regularly with the Charlie Parker Quintet in 1947, was long known as a superior bebop pianist whose style was touched by the genius of Bud Powell's innovations. This quintet album, also featuring trumpeter Dizzy Reece and the young tenor Stanley Turrentine, gave Jordan an opportunity to record six of his originals and, although none became as well-known as his "Jordu," the music has plenty of strong melodies and variety. This is one of Duke Jordan's better recordings and is quite enjoyable. [Some reissues include "Diamond Stud" and "I Should Care" as bonus tracks.]

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Duke Jordan, que tocaba regularmente con el Charlie Parker Quintet en 1947, era conocido desde hacía tiempo como un pianista bebop superior cuyo estilo estaba tocado por el genio de las innovaciones de Bud Powell. Este álbum del quinteto, en el que también participan el trompetista Dizzy Reece y el joven tenor Stanley Turrentine, dio a Jordan la oportunidad de grabar seis de sus originales y, aunque ninguno llegó a ser tan conocido como su "Jordu", la música tiene muchas melodías fuertes y variedad. Esta es una de las mejores grabaciones de Duke Jordan y es bastante agradable. [Algunas reediciones incluyen "Diamond Stud" y "I Should Care" como temas extra].
