New Orleans avant-jazz saxophonist Kidd Jordan improvises his way to $50K fellowship BY KEITH SPERA | STAFF WRITER FEB 3, 2021 - 9:00 AM Keith Spera Author email Avant-jazz saxophonist and educator Edward “Kidd” Jordan didn’t always get paid. Audiences and venue owners sometimes responded poorly to his adventurous, mostly improvised approach to jazz, which prioritizes being in the moment more than melody. “Some people liked it, and some walked out,” he recalled recently. “They’d say, ‘Y’all play that crazy music. Y’all crazy.’ We were, but it developed into something.” Staring down an empty venue, he’d prep his bandmates with, “We’re going to play for the seats tonight.” But, he said, “I’d see the seats dancing. “Come hell or high water, whether you were making a million dollars or you knew they were going to run out with the money and you weren’t getting paid, it was the same thing: we played, and we had a great time. If you get a dollar, you get a dollar.” https://www.nola.com/entertainment_life/music/article_80edda40-6592-11eb-8c3a-2f29a0762105.html

Dizzy Gilespie, Dizzy On the French Riviera (Philips) Tyree Glenn, At the Roundtable (Roulette) Much better sound than original Limelight LPs.

At that price, it must be a double album.

I like all of his recent string of Blue Note records, including the Marvels. I heard the Marvels without Bill Frisell (instead with the guitarist from Lucinda Williams' band) and it was not an improvement.
