Dmitry Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 It would be nice if this, and this thread were merged into one - http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/32285-dexter-gordon/#comment-608903 I think it's a very good, very illustrative Dexter Gordon blowing date, and the recording quality is not THAT bad. You can hear when Gordon moves away from the microphone, and either turns or walks a couple of paces, which is kind of cool in a holographic way. Chiaroscuro CR2829 has no discographic information, and the liner notes are rather abstract, to say the least. Regarding the titles of some cuts, I have read the Jive Fernando is Fried Bananas, and I honestly believe what's titled Momadua [wtf is that?] is really Montmartre. There were several CD incarnations of this date, at least one was produced by George Duke, and at least two of the tracks were mercilessly cut down, probably to fit on a cd. Is it 'essential'? I'm not smart enough to say or know, but it's some good machine-gunning Dexter, with some soulful lovin' thrown in. He plays a 15-minute long Blue Monk, and it isn't a Disco version, if you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 This is the version I have: It's probably the most legit version, since it was released on Duke's record label. I like it; Dex does go off mike and is not miked great to begin with, but it's a good, solid date. It contains 7 tracks; not listed in Lord above is "There Will Never Be Another You."

Your cd is actually the one that I referred to as being 'slimmed down', ostensibly by George Duke, to fit all the cuts on one cd, which is about 76 minutes long.

Gheorghe Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 I have this, obviously from the same date. When it came out, there was an article in Down Beat "Dexter Gordon ripped off". They obviously used the title "Gordon´s Gotham" referring to the 1981 "Gotham City" and as you said, there were no liner notes infos about the recording date. The sound quality is just so so, but it´s good playing and interesting to hear George Duke on acoustic piano. On my LP, the title "Montmatre" is mistitled "Momatta".
