Bass – Sam Jones; Drums – Billy Higgins; Piano – Cedar Walton; Tenor Saxophone, Flute – Clifford Jordan. Recorded at Trixi Ton Studio, München, on April 18, 1975.
Tenor-saxophonist Clifford Jordan teams up with pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Billy Higgins for this excellent modern hard bop set which has been reissued on CD by Muse. Of the five compositions (which include an original apiece by Jordan, Walton, Jones and Bill Lee), only Thelonious Monk's "Blue Monk" and Jordan's title cut had much life beyond this set but the music is consistently memorable, including Walton's "Midnight Waltz." All of the musicians play up-to-par and Clifford Jordan (who was continually underrated throughout his life) is immediately recognizable as usual. ~Scott Yanow

Clifford is a great tenor player not always well appreciated. Thank you for this record that I did not know.
