Edward "Kidd" Jordan is a legendary Jazz saxophonist and music educator. He has performed and recorded with a wide selection of musicians in styles ranging from R&B to avant-garde jazz.

In his performances and recordings, his music is entirely improvised. "Everything you hear on my albums is improvised." he explains. "It's collective improvisation, but there are no tunes. I tried writing down ideas a long time ago but I don't do that anymore." View a video of Kidd Jordan at the 2003 Vision Festival and another video of Kidd Jordan at the 2007 New Orleans Jazz Fest. In 1985, the French Ministry of Culture recognized Jordan as a Knight (Chevalier) of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
