A really beautiful little record one that continues the best recent Steeplechase modes of both of the musicians the tribute recordings of pianist Harold Danko, and the use of the cornet of Kirk Knuffke in very intimate, special sorts of settings! The tribute in this case is Duke Jordan whose music comprises half of the set, and is then balanced by co-creations by Danko and Knuffke the sorts of tunes that are perfect for the meeting of these two very distinct instrumentalists, especially Kirk whose way of phrasing the cornet really seems to bring out all these different sides and shapes that we're not sure we've ever heard in Harold's music before. The set features three very distinct takes on "Fight To Denmark", plus "Openepo", "Marmot's Muse", "Misty Thursday", "Wutless", "The Aleators", "Layout Blues", "Keko", and "Undecided Lady".  © 1996-2019, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/914985
