The Kidd Jordan Quartet, Sunday at the Bach

Kidd Jordan, New Orleans master of free improvisation, will be at the Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society with his quartet, featuring Eddie Gale-trumpet, William Parker-bass, and Warren Smith-drums. Jordan is a master of the free improvisation tradition, one of a handful of saxophonists of his generation to absorb the breakthroughs of his contemporaries Coltrane and Ornette Coleman. “A quiet genteel man, Kidd has always remained faithful to the sounds in his soul. The honesty in his playing is only matched by a tone that has rarely been heard in the history of his instrument.”
