RIP Edward “Kidd” Jordan (1935 – 2023)

News broke earlier today that legendary saxophonist Kidd Jordan has passed away. I recently played a track that featured his work – a track by Kali Fasteau from the album Making Waves – on the show – but he was also a prolific saxophonist with over 100 credits to his name.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to do a tribute during tomorrow’s show so I’ll do one next week – but in the meantime, here is a terrific live performance of the Kidd Jordan Special Ensemble that also features the stellar work of Harrison Bankhead on bass.

Performed and recorded June 12, 2016 at Judson Memorial Church, NYC for AFA Vision Festival 21.
