Description
Clifford Jordan was a fine inside/outside player who somehow held his own withEric Dolphyin the 1964Charles Mingus Sextet. Jordan had his own sound on tenor almost from the start. He gigged around Chicago withMax Roach,Sonny Stitt, and some R&B groups before moving to New York in 1957. Jordan immediately made a strong impression, leading three albums for Blue Note (including a meeting with fellow tenorJohn Gilmore) and touring withHorace Silver(1957-1958),J.J. Johnson(1959-1960),Kenny Dorham(1961-1962), andMax Roach(1962-1964). After performing in Europe withMingusandDolphy, Jordan worked mostly as a leader but tended to be overlooked since he was not overly influential or a pacesetter in the avant-garde.
A trio of excellent Blue Note sessions in 1957 including Cliff Jordan featuring a septet with Lee Morgan on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, John Jenkins on alto, Ray Bryant on piano, Paul Chambers on bass & Art Taylor on drums. via Label
