The four albums that legendary saxophonist Clifford Jordan recorded in the late '90s for Maple Shade Records-a label renowned for it's high-quality sound-are now being reissued on CD with a new format and released on vinyl for the first time! Recorded live at Condon's in New York in December 1990, this stunning big band jazz performance features a powerful 16-piece ensemble, highlighted by Clifford Jordan's smoky, bluesy phrasing alongside his longtime collaborators: Dizzy Reece, Benny Powell, Junior Cook, Charles Davis, and Kiane Zawadi. The set includes a masterful selection of pieces, such as Duke Ellington's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore", Dizzy Gillespie's "I Waited For You", and Jordan's own "Third Avenue", among others-an exceptional live recording now available on vinyl for the first time worldwide! Clifford Jordan: Born in Chicago in 1931, Clifford Jordan was a tenor saxophonist who began his jazz career at the young age of 16 in 1947. Playing alongside local jazz greats such as Max Roach and Sonny Stitt, as well as R&B groups, he quickly built his reputation. After relocating to New York in 1957, Jordan recorded three albums for Blue Note and became a key figure in the jazz scene, collaborating with Horace Silver, J.J. Johnson, Kenny Dorham, and Max Roach, among others. Following tours in Europe as a member of Charles Mingus and Eric Dolphy's bands, Jordan transitioned into a leader role. His 1972 album In the World, released on Strata-East, became a celebrated masterpiece of spiritual jazz. Throughout his career, he released numerous works on various labels, and in his later years, he recorded four albums for Maple Shade Records, a label known for it's exceptional sound quality. Jordan passed away in 1993.
