Price 16.19 USD
PAL/Region 0. Recorded in 1985 at Copenhagen"s Montmartre Jazzhus as a tribute to the late great Ben Webster, this excellent concert showcases pianist Jordan"s first-class playing along with Clark Terry"s humorous onstage presence. Resorting to a repertoire mostly consisting of Ellington standards, Jordan, Terry and their sidemen display a high spirited, swinging set. Best-known for his stint with Charlie Parker"s classic 1947 quintet, superb Bop pianist Duke Jordan worked with Sonny Stitt, Gene Ammons and Stan Getz during the "50s and made quite an impression by writing part of the soundtrack for the French movie Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Trumpeter Clark Terry has always been renowned for his joyful, swinging approach to music. A top-notch soloist with an unmistakable sound on his instrument, a very personal vocalist, and irrepressible humorist and an enthusiastic jazz educator. 10 tracks. 20th Century Fox.
