The Quarantined Jazz Voyager
Having adapted to this new paradigm of social distancing and self-quarantining from the continuous spikes in the corona virus by those who refuse to wear a mask and are congregating, gives me a certain amount of uninterrupted time to kick back, relax and listen to music.
The album I am choosing to place on the turntable today is the studio album Flight To Jordan recorded August 4, 1960 at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey by pianist Duke Jordan.
The album was produced by Alfred Lion and released later the same year on the Blue Note record label. All compositions are by Duke Jordan.

This pandemic is here for the long run but those of us who are smart and vigilant are going to come out on the otherside healthy and ready to jetset around the world. That’s when I will be hitting the friendly skies once again. In the meantime, stay vigilant, wear masks and remain healthy.
