Booked for a session with drummer Hamid Drake and bassist William Parker, the saxophonist arrives three weeks after his home in New Orleans East has been destroyed by the flood that wiped out much of the city. Kidd, the man who stayed close to home to raise his family and teach music when most of his peers, left for session work in Los Angeles or to tour the world, was now an involuntary nomad. Gracefully, he takes it all in stride. The day before Palm of Soul is recorded at Systems Two studio, Jordan is sanguine and unsentimental. He's reached the age of 70 without the world's bitterness rusting away his spirit.<BR/>(...) The album's turbulent passages almost instinctually call to mind the destructive surge of Katrina. The saxophonist acknowledges the analogy with a chuckle. He was contending with powerful forces, alright, but they went by different names. "I wasn't thinking about the hurricane. I was thinking about what they were laying out behind me. The hurricane was William and Hamid." Palm of Soul displays, with lyricism and passion, another natural fact: In art as in life, Kidd Jordan keeps the wind to his back, and a world of sound in his hand.
