The four albums that legendary saxophonist Clifford Jordan recorded during his masterful final years in the 1990s for Mapleshade Records, known for its dedication to high-fidelity sound, are now available on vinyl for the first time in a brand-new edition!

A thrilling and sophisticated collaboration between the brilliant Ran Blake (piano) and the legendary Clifford Jordan (saxophone)—this unique masterpiece transcends genre boundaries. Drawing from blues, gospel, jazz, and classical influences, pianist Ran Blake delivers an innovative and unparalleled performance, while Clifford Jordan, at the peak of his artistry, brings his seasoned mastery to the recording.

Recorded in 1989 at Mapleshade Studios, this tension-filled session includes a reimagined version of Billy Strayhorn’s classic “Something To Live For” (M1), Blake’s original composition “Vanguard” (M6) as a duo performance, and the trio piece “Doug’s Prelude” (M9) featuring trombonist Julian Priester. Each note is crafted with deep sincerity by these master musicians, resulting in a pure and transcendent sound—now available on vinyl for the first time in history!

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
