Editorial summary

“In the World” enters the record as 1972 studio album by Clifford Jordan. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what World, studio and album can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA useful identification and reception guide that helps separate the work itself from editions, performances, ownership and later interpretation. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1969, 1972, 2013—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around World, studio and album.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“In the World” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, World, studio and album provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 21, 2025. The first chronological checks are 1969, 1972 and 2013.

Critical limits

Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
