CLIFFORD JORDAN AND JOHN GILMORE "BLOWING IN FROM CHICAGO"
2010 ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS "THE BLUE NOTE REISSUES", 2LP, 45RPM, 180G VIRGIN VINYL, CATALOG NUMBER AP-1549, #558 OF A SOLD-OUT LIMITED EDITION OF 2,500 COPIES, RECORDED BY RUDY VAN GELDER AND MASTERED BY KEVIN GRAY AND STEVE HOFFMAN USING THE ORIGINAL ANALOG BLUE NOTE MASTER TAPES, PRESSED AT RTI, CAMARILLO, CA.
"JORDAN AND GILMORE WERE BIG GUNS IN CHICAGO AND UNKNOWN ELSEWHERE WHEN THEY MADE THIS ALBUM WITH THE DREAM TEAM OF HORACE SILVER, CURLY RUSSELL AND ART BLAKEY. JORDAN WOULD BECOME A KINGPIN OF THE NEW YORK HARD BOP SCENE AND GILMORE WOULD IMMERSE HIMSELF IN THE WORLD OF SUN RA, BUT THESE TENOR MASTERS WERE COMPLETELY IN SYNC FOR THIS GREAT BLUE NOTE SESSION."
"CLIFFORD PLAYS THE LEAD PARTS IN ALL OF THE ENSEMBLE WORK, AND HIS MELLOWER TONE IS READILY DISTINGUISHABLE FROM GILMORE'S HARDER, MORE PUNCHING SOUND." "STATUS QUO", AN ORIGINAL BY JOHN NEELY (ANOTHER FINE CHICAGO TENOR MAN), KICKS OFF SIDE 1 IN A BRIGHT, HARD-DRIVING MANNER, WITH GILMORE TAKING THE FIRST TENOR SOLO. ART'S GUTTY FILL-INS AND SOLOS ARE STANDOUTS IN THIS CUT WHICH EXHIBITS JUST HOW BEAUTIFULLY HAPPY GOOD JAZZ CAN BE." "CLIFFORD'S LATIN FLAVORED "BO-TILL" FOLLOWS. HIS IS THE FIRST SOLO, AND IT SINGS AS PRETTILY. HORACE PRESENTS HERE ONE OF THE MOST REFLECTIVE AND SIMPLY SWINGING SOLOS OF HIS ENTIRE RECORDING CAREER." "SIDE 1 CLOSES WITH GIGI GRYCE'S "BLUE LIGHTS", QUICKLY BECOMING A MODERN JAZZ STANDARD. GILMORE SOLOS FIRST, AND PLAYS SOME VERY CHALLENGING CHORD CHANGES. DURING HORACE'S SOLO, HE AND ART BUILD THE TENSION TO AN ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE PITCH WITH THEIR FAMOUS "DOUBLE TIMING", ONLY TO SWING TWICE AS MUCH WHEN THEY RESUME THE REGULAR TIME, IN THIS TUNE, CURLY REMINDS THE JAZZ WORLD THAT HE DESERVES MORE SOLO SPACE." "BILLIE'S BOUNCE", TAKEN A LITTLE FASTER THAN USUAL, CREATES AN IN-PERSON JAM SESSION FEELING WITH ITS UNRESTRAINED FLOW OF BITING SOLOS AND EXPLODING RHYTHMIC DECAPITATIONS." "HORACE'S LONE COMPOSITION FOR THE DATE, A SHOW-TYPE TUNE HE CALLS "EVERYWHERE", CLOSES THE LP AND IN MANY RESPECTS IS THE SMOOTHEST FLOWING SELECTION IN THE SET." JOE SEGAL-CHICAGO COLUMNIST, METRONOME
