**Duke Jordan’s early success came as member of the Charlie Parker Quintet contributing
some of the most endearingly apt introductions of the jazz’ classic repertoires 
such as Embraceable You. **

He composed quite a few great jazz tunes that became standard numbers like Jor-du
and No Problem among others. After a lengthy hiatus due to his drug problems in 
the 60s Jordan was rescued by a handful of Danish jazz enthusiasts and started resuming
his professional career in Europe and Japan.

The featured young tenorist Bent Jædig had shared the bandstand with Jordan during
the years into the 80s. Along with Jædig two guest players were sitting in: bassists
Eddie Gomez (in town with Bill Evans), and South African Johnny Dyani.

This live recording finds Jordan at the famed jazz club Montmartre in the heart 
of Copenhagen the night before the (studio) recording session of his best-selling
album Flight To Denmark (SLC 30337). Duke Jordan made Denmark his permanent home
until his death in 2006.
