Pianist Duke Jordan takes on the groovy score to the French film Les Liasions Dangereuses – material best known via Art Blakey's original recording with tenorist Barney Wilen – but equally great here in Jordan's lesser-known version! The group here is excellent – with some of ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

(White label pressing. Cover is lightly bent at the top right corner.)
(Early 60s black label mono-pact pressing. Cover has light wear and aging, bumped corners with a bit of gloss separation, and a fairly large gloss bubble at the top left corner.)
As you'd expect from the title, this one features Cecil Payne performing a number of Charlie Parker compositions – and for the Charlie Parker label, no less!
