Irving Sidney Jordan (born April 1st, 1922 in New York City – August 8th, 2006) was an American jazz pianist. An imaginative and gifted pianist, he was also a regular member of Charlie Parker's so-called "classic quintet" (1947-1948), featuring Miles Davis. For example he participated in the Parker dial Session that produced "Dewey Square", "Bongo Bop", "Bird of Paradise", and the beautiful ballad "Embraceable You".
