Flight to Denmark.
Copenhagen and Tokyo: SteepleChase / Nippon Phonogram Co., Ltd., 1980 Stock Code: 144625
Signed by Jordan in black marker pen on the front cover, "Thank you - Duke Jordan". The pianist, whose work is "enlivened by a delightfully crisp touch and unexpected turns of phrase" (Brian Priestley in Jazz: The Rough Guide) had been away from the studio for many years before returning and recording initially for the Danish SteepleChase label.
Here he is accompanied by Ed Thigpen and Mads Vinding, who could be described as the SteepleChase house bassist, on a mix of standards and originals. The Penguin Guide describes his versions of "Here's That Rainy Day", "On Green Dolphin Street" and "How Deep is the Ocean" as "finely judged readings". First Japanese pressing, originally issued in Denmark in 1974.
