'Flight to Denmark', the best-selling SteepleChase album by legendary US pianist Duke Jordan, is finally available as a 180g audiophile LP!
Charlie Parker's favourite pianist and the composer of the famous "Jordu", Duke Jordan (b. April 1, 1922 in New York) ended his five-year seclusion from the jazz scene when he was invited to play and record in Denmark in 1973. This first recording by Jordan for SteepleChase turned out to be an enormous success which brought Jordan back in the spotlight.
