Jordan, Kent
Essence
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 1988 Original With Hype Sticker On The Shrink Wrap. Features Ron Carter, Branford Marsalis, Kevin Eubanks And Marlon Jordan. “Flutist Kent Jordan's Third Columbia Set Is Far Superior To His First Two Rather Commercial Efforts (No Question About It And Night Aire). Jordan Is Well-Featured On Four Standards (Including "Well You Needn't," Which Finds Him Switching Effectively To Piccolo, And "Moment's Notice"), Two Tunes By Bassist Elton Heron, And Wayne Shorter's "Rio" In A Variety Of Instrumental Settings. With Such Sidemen As Pianists Kenny Barron And Billy Childs, Guitarist Kevin Eubanks, Bassists Dave Holland And Ron Carter, Drummers Jack Dejohnette And Al Foster, And (On The Opening "Curtain Call") Trumpeter/Brother Marlon Jordan And Tenor Saxophonist Branford Marsalis, Among Others, Jordan Interacts With An All-Star Cast. Most Of The Music Is Fairly Straight-Ahead, And Throughout, The Flutist Realizes Some Of The Potential That Was Wasted On His First Two Recordings.” Scott Yanow, AMG.
