"DUKE JORDAN ESTABLISHED HIS CREDENTIALS AS PIANIST DURING 1947-48 WHEN HE WAS CHARLIE PARKER'S PIANIST. HIS COMPOSING SKILLS DID NOT EMERGE UNTIL THE ARRIVAL OF HARD BOP IN THE MID FIFTIES. "FLIGHT TO JORDAN" FROM AUGUST 4, 1960 WAS HIS FIRST FULL ALBUM AS A LEADER AND FEATURES THE DISTINCTIVE FRONTLINE OF STANLEY TURRENTINE AND DIZZY REECE."
"DUKE JORDAN, WHO PLAYED REGULARLY WITH THE CHARLIE PARKER QUINTET IN 1947, WAS LONG KNOWN AS A SUPERIOR BEBOP PIANIST WHOSE STYLE WAS TOUCHED BY THE GENIUS OF BUD POWELL'S INNOVATIONS. THIS QUINTET ALBUM, ALSO FEATURING TRUMPETER DIZZY REECE AND THE YOUNG TENOR STANLEY TURRENTINE, GAVE JORDAN AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECORD SIX OF HIS ORIGINALS AND, ALTHOUGH NONE BECAME AS WELL-KNOWN AS HIS "JORDU", THE MUSIC HAS PLENTY OF STRONG MELODIES AND VARIETY. THIS IS ONE OF DUKE JORDAN'S BETTER RECORDINGS AND IS QUITE ENJOYABLE."--SCOTT YANOW, ALL MUSIC
