This bundle includes three performances from the legendary tenor-saxophonist Dexter Gordon. Titles included are Body and Soul, Take the 'A' Train, and Both Sides of Midnight. Each record was pressed on 180g black vinyl at Pallas Group.
Description
Tenor-saxophonist Dexter Gordon was in peak form when recording at Copenhagen’s Legendary Jazzhus Montmartre in 1967. A portion of that recording would later become Body & Soul, an album originally released by Black Lion Records, which had been out of press on vinyl for almost three decades. Now, just shy of fifty years after the performance was recorded, the album finally receives the audiophile treatment it deserves with this 180gram vinyl reissue, pressed at Pallas in Germany.
Track Listing
A1 Like Someone In Love
A2 There Will Never Be Another You
B1 Body And Soul
B2 Blues Walk
Description: Recorded live in July of 1967 at the legendary Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen, this selection finds tenor-saxophonist Dexter Gordon and his quartet (pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels Pederson and drummer Albert “Tootie” Heath) in top form. Two of the standards on this hard-swinging set (But Not for Me & Take the‘A’ Train) are over ten minutes long, allowing Gordon to stretch out creatively. The historic recording finally gets its vinyl debut with this 180gram audiophile-grade Pallas pressing.
Track Listing: A1 But Not For Me A2 Take The A Train B1 For All We Know
During a two-day period in July of 1967, the tenor-saxophonist and his quartet recorded multiple albums worth of material at one of Gordon’s favorite venues, the legendary Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen. This record, Walk The Blues, is pulled from the second night, and finds Dexter in an expansive, relaxed mood in front of an appreciative audience. These brilliant recordings will be available on standard black and transparent blue vinyl with this audiophile-grade pressing from Pallas Group in Germany.
