The Duke Jordan Trio So Nice Duke XRCD24
£35.00Jazz pianist Duke Jordan is joined here by Jesper Lundgaard on bass and Aage Tanggaard on drums for a session recorded live at Nagaya on June 14, 1982.
Jordan was born in New York and raised in Brooklyn. An imaginative and gifted pianist, Jordan was a regular member of Charlie Parker’s so-called “classic quintet” (194748), featuring Miles Davis. He participated in Parker’s Dial sessions in late 1947 that produced “Dewey Square,” “Bongo Bop,” “Bird of Paradise,” and the ballad “Embraceable You.” These performances are featured on Charlie Parker on Dial.
The Ornette Coleman Double Quartet: Free Jazz Speakers Corner 180g Vinyl
£35.00The term ‘free jazz’ was already in existence – but it had a quite different meaning, namely jazz without paying for an entrance ticket.
The album “Free Jazz”, however, was intended to lend its name to a quite different style of jazz. ‘
Free’ playing – now this meant that no one was bound to conventions, you could let your imagination run loose. Free jazz gave one the chance to find new rules for every new composition. And it was to be the greatest boost to innovation in the world of jazz.
Ornette Coleman’s album from December 1960 stands at the beginning of the free jazz era like a massive portal.
