Clifford Jordan Quartet Live At Ethell's

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 its commitment to high sound quality. These albums are now being reissued by P-vine with new packaging, available on both CD and 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.
