Brooklyn Brothers

'Brooklyn Brothers is truly a meeting of kindred spirits in perfect harmony. Cecil Payne and Duke Jordan are self-effacing people, but their music is strong and it takes on an extra richness when they are together. This is perhaps the most wholly satisfying session they have put down in an association which spans four decades.' Mark Gardner, from the original LP liner notes. This 1973 recording was Payne and Jordan s seventh together, and was the first in the previous 11 years. Deluxe CD includes 16-page book with original liner notes essay by Mark Gardner and new essay by jazz journalist Ted Panken, plus
