Jordan Klassen Repentance (2013)

Jordan: The Comeback is Prefab Sprout's largely successful attempt to embrace the breadth of popular music; wisely reuniting with producer Thomas Dolby, Paddy McAloon freely indulges his myriad ambitions and obsessions to weave a dense, finely textured tapestry closer in spirit and construction to a lavish Broadway musical than to the conventional rock concept LP. Over the course of no less than 19 tracks, McAloon chases his twin preoccupations of religion and celebrity, creating a loose thematic canvas perfect for his expanding musical palette; quickly dispensing with common pop idioms, the album moves from tracks like the samba-styled "Carnival 2000" to the self-explanatory "Jesse James Symphony" and its companion piece "Jesse James Bolero" with remarkable dexterity.

Jazz / Hard Bop / Post Bop / Saxophone

A really amazing set of work from tenorist Clifford Jordan – a player who first rose to fame in the hardbop scene of the late 50s, but who moved into tremendous new territory with these Strata East recordings of the late 60s and early 70s! Jordan was a Chicago contemporary of players like Johnny Griffin and Von Freeman, but he was never content to rest on his laurels – and stretched out on these records with a spiritual vibe that he'd never expressed before – and which would go onto inspire countless other musicians in years to come! This set brings together all the Dolphy Series recordings that Jordan recorded – either as an artist or producer – two of which were never issued on record at the time.

Jazz / Avant-Garde Jazz / Trombone

Trombonist Jeff Albert's Instigation Quartet, comprised of saxophonist Kidd Jordan, double bassist Joshua Abrams, and drummer Hamid Drake, play a superb studio session, starting and ending with two works by Fred Anderson. “The musicians have dug irrigation canals into society and the universe, overflowing with their energy.”

Saxophonist long met with Laurent De Wilde for eclectic and electric experience, so electro-jazz fusion, has since refocused on the composition and much more acoustic jazz. In this new adventure, Horellou enlisted the services of a saxophonist Abraham Burton emeritus colleague, former student of Jackie McLean soloists and orchestras Roy Haynes, Louis Hayes, Art Taylor … Recorded live in January 2013 at the Duke Lombards, the album was created by Dominique "Dume" Poutet (Laurent de Wilde, Guillaume Perret, DTP Records, …) and celebrates the meeting of these two saxophonists exalted. The repertoire was composed in homage to the masters Jackie McLean, John Coltrane, Clifford Jordan, Sonny Rollins.
