Description
Clifford Jordan
“In The World”
Strata-East Label
(DEMO COPY)
Recorded in the spring of 1969 and released in 1972. “In the World” is a masterpiece of spiritual jazz by tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan. It was originally financed and produced by Jordan himself for the Strata-East label. The album is a highly regarded study in contrast, featuring a revolving all-star cast across two different ensembles.
Jordan was already a well-seasoned player, having worked with Max Roach, Horace Silver and Eric Dolphy. (The album credits states that it is the first in a Dolphy series produced by Jordan).
Like Jordan’s Glass Bead Games which followed on Strata-East, In the World depends on two different groups of musicians- and there are some killer players here–Julian Priester, Don Cherry, Richard Davis and even Roy Haynes (who alternates with Albert Heath).
Condition: VG+ Very minor visible surface wear, very miniscule scratches and no scuffs. But, there is some minimal impact on the sound quality; miniscule hissing and pops. The vinyl has a fine luster. The label has no imperfections, no holes, or initials.
The sleeve is near mint; No dog ears, marking, holes, cuts or record ring. I removed the cellophane cover (it was ripping).
Important notice: While an indication of damage is given in some
