Recorded in 1985 at Copenhagen's Montmartre Jazzhus as a tribute to the late great Ben Webster, this excellent concert showcases pianist Jordan's first-class playing along with Clark Terry's humorous onstage presence. Resorting to a repertoire mostly consisting of Ellington standards, Jordan, Terry and their sidemen display a high spirited, swinging set. Best-known for his stint with Charlie Parker's classic 1947 quintet, superb Bop pianist Duke Jordan worked with Sonny Stitt, Gene Ammons and Stan Getz during the '50s and made quite an impression by writing part of the soundtrack for the French movie Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Trumpeter Clark Terry has always been renowned for his joyful, swinging approach to music. A top-notch soloist with an unmistakable sound on his instrument, a very personal vocalist, and irrepressible humorist and an enthusiastic jazz educator. 10 tracks.

Although he had a long career, Duke Jordan will always be best known for being pianist with Charlie Parker's classic 1947 quintet. A little earlier, he worked with the Savoy Sultans, Coleman Hawkins, and the Roy Eldridge big band (1946). After his year with Parker (his piano introductions to such songs as "Embraceable You" were classic), Jordan worked with the Sonny StittGene Ammons quintet (1950-1951) and Stan Getz (1949 and 1952-1953). He started recording as a leader in 1954, debuting his most famous composition, "Jor-Du," the following year. Although he worked steadily during the next few decades (writing part of the soundtrack for the French film Les Liaisons Dangereuses), Jordan was in obscurity until he began recording on a regular basis for Steeplechase in 1973. Duke Jordan, who was married for a time to the talented jazz singer Sheila Jordan, lived in Denmark from 1978 until his death on August 8, 2006. He recorded through the years for Prestige, Savoy, Blue Note, Charlie Parker Records, Muse, Spotlite, and Steeplechase.
