What is this?

Anyone know anything about this recording? I like Duke Jordan's playing, but I never heard of this one before.

Worth getting for sure if you like Duke Jordan. A date that was released originally on Charlie Parker Records, and features material that was used in the score of the movie.

[Man with the Golden Arm]

Beware the release on the Italian 'HitLand' label. Otherwise this is as essential as the Blakey.

Duke Jordan recorded for the Charlie Parker Records label the music he composed for the Roger Vadim film 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses 1960'. Jordan wrote the music for the French film but - for tax and financial reasons - used the alias of Jack Marray to sign the music.

The original film music appeared on a French Fontana LP. It was played by Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers with Lee Morgan and Barney Wilen. The LP was also issued in the States by Epic. It has been constantly reissued since.

The Thelonious Monk Quartet also played music that was used in the film. That music was never published.

I picked this one up from a board member a couple months ago. Sounds pretty good, no listing in the liners of who plays on it though (I hate that).
