About
Clifford Jordan contributes two choruses on tenor sax, the third of 5 solos on the recording. Taken at an up-tempo swing tempo of 192 BPM over the 32-bar AABA in G, the improvisation flows with assured, relaxed momentum. Clifford Jordan delivers two swinging tenor saxophone choruses, and Donald Byrd adds a single trumpet chorus of characteristic warmth. Recorded for the album Paul Chambers Quintet in 1957, the performance captures Clifford Jordan at 25 to 26 years old. The piece showcases Chambers' emerging voice as a composer, revealing a sensibility that extended well beyond his celebrated abilities as an accompanist and soloist on the instrument.
Clifford Jordan was 25 to 26 years old at the time.
