Blue Duke ... CD Baystate (Japan), 1983. Used ...
Just Sold Out!
A later session from Duke Jordan – recorded during his years on the European scene, with a style that's gentler and more introspective than his earlier American work. The contrast is a nice one – as Duke's got full room to move on the keys, with only minor support from the younger bass ... (Jazz) read moreCD
Duke Jordan on piano joined by Gene Ramey, Percy Heath, Eddie Kahn and Reggie Workman on bass and Lee Abrams, Art Blakey and Art Taylor on drums. (Jazz) CD
A gem of a record from the young Duke Jordan – a set recorded in France, as part of a big postwar effort by the Vogue label – but one that also really captures the fresh, boppish energy that Jordan brought to his work on the US scene at the time! Duke's razor-sharp here – a deft ... (Jazz) read moreCD

A great collection of Jordan's material from the mid 40s to the mid 50s – starting with his jazzy numbers of the earlier years, and moving into the more blues/rock 'n roll sound of later recordings.

The rare early 80s club soul set from Margie Joseph – kind of an bubbling, synth and programming era departure of the stunning female southern soul singer!

An excellent mid 90s album from Joyce – and one of the first really great records she made in years!

An obscure Joyce album from the late 80s, and a very nice set of mellow readings of Jobim classics, performed with help on keyboards from the great Gilson Peranzzetta.
