1965: Clifford Jordan - These Are My Roots |
Music » Jazz » BeBop » Hard-bop |
 |
|
 Artist: Clifford Jordan plays Leadbelly Album: These Are My Roots Label: Collectables Year: 1965 Format, bitrate: MP3, 320 kbps Time: 0.39:04 Size: 100 MB At first glance, this appears to be a very illogical album. Back in 1965, tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan recorded a tribute to the late folk singer Leadbelly. The date, originally cut for Atlantic and reissued by Koch in 1999, is actually more successful than one might expect. Jordan performs nine of Leadbelly's originals (including the hit "Goodnight Irene"), turning the music into jazz without lessening the impact of the melodies or their folk roots. Trumpeter Roy Burrowes, trombonist Julian Priester, bassist Richard Davis and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath are on most of the selections along with Jordan, while Chuck Wayne (on guitar and banjo) helps out on four tunes, and pianist Cedar Walton is on three. The fine young singer Sandra Douglass is excellent on "Take This Hammer" and "Black Girl," making one wonder whatever happened to her. Overall, this project is an unexpected success -- one would not have thought that Clifford Jordan and Leadbelly had that much in common! ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1986: Clifford Jordan - Royal Ballads |
Music » Jazz » BeBop » Hard-bop |

|
 Artist: Clifford Jordan Album: Royal Ballads Label: Criss Cross Jazz Year: 1986 Quality: mp3; VBR Size: 79,75 mb Total time: 58:08 AMG Rating  Clifford Jordan was still an important tenor saxophonist during the years prior to his death in 1993, though his final recording for Criss Cross is one of his lesser known dates. With pianist Kevin O'Connell, bassist Ed Howard and Ahmad Jamal's former drummer Vernell Fournier, Jordan's performances are all top-shelf quality throughout this 1986 session. In addition to a swinging waltz treatment of Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life" and a gorgeous rendition of the standard "Little Girl Blue," he explores the music of Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk with equally strong results. The leader's sole original is "Royal Blue," which has a tense, somewhat menacing introduction, then lightens up into a more familiar closing-hour blues setting as Jordan finally makes his entrance. The drummer contributed the easygoing Latin tune "Armando." Any fan of Clifford Jordan will want to seek out this release. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide |
