The four albums left by legendary saxophonist Clifford Jordan in the 1990s, during the mature phase of his career, were recorded for Maple Shade Records, a label known for it's commitment to high sound quality. These albums are now being reissued by P-VINE with new packaging, available on vinyl. The first release in this series is a live recording from 1987, captured during a quartet performance at a jazz club in Baltimore. The album features a mix of jazz standards like "'Round Midnight" (Thelonious Monk) and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" (Duke Ellington), alongside some of Jordan's own compositions, all delivered with a lyrical and sophisticated performance. The recording, produced and engineered by Pierre Sprey, employs minimal miking and high-quality cables, creating an extraordinary level of clarity and presence that makes it difficult to believe this is a live recording. The result is a live album of exceptional quality that stands as one of the key live recordings of his career. This is the first-ever vinyl release of this album worldwide.
