Clifford Jordan Quartet • Repetition

 

Review by Ken Dryden
Clifford Jordan was in top form for this marathon, noon-to-midnight quartet studio session with Barry Harris, Walter Booker, and Vernel Fournier. The veteran hard bopper brought three potent originals to the date, and the group collaborated on the driving up-tempo "Fun." Neal Hefti's "Repetition" could be subtitled "Relaxation" for its easygoing tempo. The short but effective rendition of Monk's "Evidence" packs plenty of punch, while the medley of Fats Navarro's "Nostalgia" and Tadd Dameron's "Casbah" is also a masterful performance. The only downside to this release is the self-serving liner notes by the enormously egocentric Stanley Crouch.

Crítica de Ken Dryden
Clifford Jordan estaba en plena forma para esta maratoniana sesión de estudio en cuarteto, de mediodía a medianoche, con Barry Harris, Walter Booker y Vernel Fournier. El veterano hard bopper aportó tres potentes originales a la cita, y el grupo colaboró en la trepidante "Fun". Repetition" de Neal Hefti podría subtitularse "Relaxation" por su tempo desenfadado. La breve pero efectiva interpretación de "Evidence" de Monk tiene mucha garra, mientras que el popurrí de "Nostalgia" de Fats Navarro y "Casbah" de Tadd Dameron es también una interpretación magistral. El único inconveniente de esta edición son las autocomplacientes notas del egocéntrico Stanley Crouch.
