About this album
Firm Roots is a strong hard bop album from Clifford Jordan And The Magic Triangle, showing the saxophonist in command of a lean, highly focused group sound. Issued in 1975, it moves between sturdy blues phrasing, careful ensemble writing and fluent improvisation, with Jordan’s tenor leading the session with warmth and authority. The title track and pieces such as “Angel In The Night” and “Voices Deep Within Me” underline the set’s compact, muscular approach, while the group’s interplay keeps the music restless and alive. It stands as a fine example of 1970s jazz that stayed rooted in hard bop traditions without sounding trapped by them.
