Duke Jordan - Jordu
Review by graffitown artes
Jordu by Duke Jordan is a classic jazz album that showcases the pianist's virtuosity and creativity. Released in 1956, the album features Jordan's original compositions as well as covers of jazz standards, all of which are played with impeccable technique and soulful expression.
The opening track, "Jordu," is a lively and upbeat tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Jordan's piano playing is both playful and sophisticated, and his improvisations are full of surprises and unexpected twists. The rhythm section, consisting of bassist Percy Heath and drummer Art Blakey, provides a solid foundation for Jordan's explorations.
Other highlights of the album include "Deacon Joe," a bluesy number that showcases Jordan's ability to create a mood with just a few chords, and "Flight to Jordan," a fast-paced tune that features some impressive soloing by all three musicians.
