One of my earlier jazz outings was seeing the Alex Welsh band at Macks, 100 Oxford Street, London (later the 100 Club), surrounded by whirling jivers on the dance floor. The papers were full of the Sputnik launch, which dates it at October 1957, with me one month short of my 18th birthday. :)

CD from this set - listening to them in no particular order

Manhattan Symphony is probably the best from the CBS years, just a perfect album, not only the music itself that is superb, and the long time rhyhtm section, but also the cover photo and the liner notes. 

But the very best Gordon track from his later years is a live version of "Fried Bananas" on the two double albums "CBS Allstars at Montreux". Most of the stuff is long tunes of a mixture of fusion and straight ahead, and at one point there is the small group track of Dexter doing "Fried Bananas" and this is the best version I ever heard.

Glad you liked it! My one and only return to the 100 Club was in the summer of 1981 by which time the dancers had disappeared and the music on offer was a tad more sophisticated, but equally exciting: Sonny Stitt with Red Holloway!

Oooh. I would've loved to see that two-tenor show.  :)

Wayne Shorter - Atlantis (Columbia, 1985)

220px-Atlantis_(Wayne_Shorter_album).jpg

A better album than I remember. First time around I was shocked because it's barely jazz. This time round I was pleased to find that it wasn't the limp quiet storm / smooth fest I'd recalled it being. 

There's more of a link between this sort of thing, Miles Davis and people like Steve Coleman than is commonly discussed. A new sort of fusion in an era of quiet storm, new wave, electro and smooth jazz.
