Free Music Notes for Flight to Jordan
Free Music Review: Slow- and mid-tempo, soulful blues
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a fine recording for those who like slow, soulful bluesy numbers that approximate the sound of the more well-known Blue Note session, "Blue and Sentimental" by Ike Quebec. However, such slow numbers alternate with catchy mid-tempo blues numbers, the most outstanding of which is "Flight to Jordan," which opens the album. "Deacon Joe" is the outstanding slow-number that manages to swing very hard. However, Jordan's solid skills as a composer are evident thoughout the whole album. Also, I wish to highlight the pristine tone and mellow swing of trumpeter Dizzy Reece who is not as well known as Turrentine. Turrentine, even at this early stage (before "Up at Minton's") already sounds like his soulful self. This is an extremely well-paced session that provides a fine showcase of Duke Jordan as composer and pianist and, consequently, makes a pleasant, unique addition to any collection of music.
P.S. Michael Richman, another customer reviewer, is correct about the odd sound mix on the horn solos.
