Duke Jordan Trio and Quintet


Duke Jordan Trio and Quintet is an album by American pianist Duke Jordan recorded in 1955 and first released on Don Schlitten's Signal label before being acquired by the Savoy label.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Jim Todd stated: "The title of this 1955 Savoy release by pianist Duke Jordan succinctly points to the set's merits and shortcomings. The five trio performances with Art Blakey and Percy Heath work well. The five tracks from the same group augmented by Cecil Payne and Eddie Bert don't come up to the mark".
