The Great Session

The Great Session is an album led by pianist Duke Jordan recorded in 1978 and released on the Danish SteepleChase label in 1981.

Reception
AllMusic awarded the album 3½ stars stating "There's a bit of hyperbole in the album's title, as the play list is hardly adventurous and the arrangements are average, in spite of the strong personnel".
