On November 1, 2019, the New Orleans Jazz Museum hosted “Honoring the Kidd,” a tribute concert to saxophonist and educator Kidd Jordan. A nine-track album comprised of performances recorded that night will be released on May 22.

Edited and mastered by multiple Grammy-winning engineer David Farrell, SEVENTH SUN features Jordan himself, plus Roger Lewis, Don Paul, Carl Leblanc, Herlin Riley, Kent Jordan, Kirk Joseph, Stephanie Jordan, Marlon Jordan and Michael Torregano Jr. That lineup represents not only musicians taught by Jordan, but also three of his own children.

Proceeds from sale of SEVENTH SUN, which will arrive in four-fold Digipak format, will benefit the Louis Armstrong Summer Jazz Camp, the Kidd Jordan Institute of Jazz and Modern Music, Sticking Up For Children and the musicians who performed at “Honoring the Kidd.”

In addition to the CD release, folks will have the opportunity to purchase a $10 accompanying booklet (or $8 if purchased along with the CD or double-LP).
