• Baritone saxophonist Cecil Payne developed a recording and on-stage collaboration with pianist Duke Jordan that started in the mid Fifties and would last until the late 1980s. This CD contains some of the most successful encounters recorded in the early years of their relationship.

• First as a quartet with Tommy Potter and Art Taylor’s inspiring support, and later with the addition of the exceptional Kenny Dorham, these 1956 sides are full of life. On the 1962 session, the muted work and warm sound of another fine trumpeter, Johnny Coles, is in evidence.

• In the rhythm section, Wendell Marshall and Walter Bolden tie the time down with taste and complete assurance. Payne on these sides was in his most spirited form, and Jordan, a too often underestimated pianist, plays with creativity and intelligence.

• Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder Studios, Hackensack N.J., 1956, and New York City, 1962.
