CLIFFORD JORDAN “In The World” CD
★First limited production
★High quality SHM-CD/paper jacket specification
Tenor sax giant Clifford Jordan's spiritual jazz masterpiece "In The World" is reissued in high quality SHM-CD format! The legendary modern jazz album, also known as the "masterpiece of jazz cafes", is revived!
Clifford Jordan, a giant of tenor saxophone, was born in Chicago in 1931 and continued to express the essence of hard bop until his death in March 1993. He made his debut with Blue Note in the late 50s, passed through the turbulent 60s, and recorded this album at his own expense in the spring of 1969, just as he was approaching his peak in the 70s. It was released in 1972 by Strata-East as the first of the "Dolphy Series" produced by Jordan. The highlight is the masterpiece "VIENNA," in which Jordan, Don Cherry, and Wynton Kelly play an ecstatic daydream over minor-key melodies and a musing waltz beat. The maddening sadness, sensuality, and lyricism that overflows there still exude a rare charm, making it a legendary masterpiece that should be called a monumental work in the history of modern jazz!
