This CD is a straight reissue of the original Jazzland LP. Tenor saxophonist
Clifford Jordan, who is joined by pianist
Cedar Walton, bassist
Teddy Smith and drummer
J.C. Moses, is heard in his early prime and displays an original tone while playing in the hard bop style. He stretches out on five of his swinging and fairly advanced originals, "How Deep Is the Ocean," and
Tom McIntosh's "Malice Towards None." It would be 1973 before
Jordan had another opportunity to be showcased in a quartet format, making this formerly rare set one of his best all-around recordings.
