Scott Pilgrim. Duke Jordan: Interesting Duo

American culture takes in so many rivers...they all pour lovingly into our soul awareness. We are not ego-niks, because we are searchers, trying to find true clear meaning. The vigor in the jazz music of the super piano man, Duke Jordan has been found by me, recently. This man had great work in the mighty early years with the poignant one, Charlie Parker. His sound is so very lyrical on that piano that is so moving you can feel the thing talking to you. On some of the Duke Jordan material I listened to recently he had the elegant fellow of the drums with him. The one and only Ed Thigpen. The guy knows beautifully how to get the musical job done. Duke Jordan was a man who developed a very revolutionary style. He got exposed at an early time in life to the music of Monk, Gillespie, Parker and the sleek piano fella, Bud Powell. His music even now just rears up and captivates you. Duke Jordan is a person of real style. Getting back to what I said when I started this piece, our present culture is just so cool, because we can enjoy innovative piano jazz and also brash, new engaging wild works, like Scott Pilgrim. I figure this Scott Pilgrim phenom is gonna really take off kind of like the great DiCaprio and the joyous 'Inception.' Let's give great applause for the wild new source of entertainment joy, the delightful Scott Pilgrim but also let's relish the glorious so revolutionary piano jazz music of the superb one....Duke Jordan.
