Duke Jordan - Sketching for Les Liaisons Dangereuses

Pianist Duke Jordan (1920 - 2006) was approached in New York by Marcel Romano, musical consultant of the French film Les Liaisons Dangereuses directed by Roger Vadim in 1959, to audition for the soundtrack. It laid down the groundwork for Jordan's rise to the star composer status. All too famous No Problem is not included in this sketching but a few of the masterpieces we come to appreciate later are here in their prototypes.

This recording made in a NY studio has never been heard (except maybe by Vadim). SteepleChase is proud to announce the world premier release of the album of huge cultural/historical significance.
