soulpope Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 A complete previously unissued quartet performance by the great Dexter Gordon. This fascinating concert finds Gordon at the Subway jazz club in Köln, Germany, on September 11, 1973, playing along Irv Rochlin on piano, Henk Haverhoek on bass, and Tony Inzalaco on drums. The 2-CD edition contains a 16-page booklet with rare photographs, special essays by famed jazz producer Michael Cuscuna and by Dexter's widow, Maxine Gordon, and includes four bonus tracks.

felser Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Can anyone speak of that rhythm section? I've never heard of any of them, but I want to believe... Edited April 5, 2019 by felser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Can't speak to the piano or bass, but Tony Inzalaco was drummer on Dex's "Stable Mable" album, recorded 3/10/75. So if Dex played with him 1 1/2 years later, he probably liked him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulpope Posted April 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Henk Haverhoek a excellent dutch bass player - his credentials say a lot http://www.henkhaverhoek.nl/names.html same applies to Irv Rochlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Both are on the Dutch Jazz release of Ben Webster Meets Piet Noordijk. (that is, piano and drums) I wouldn't hesitate on this one when it comes to the CD but then again I have been diagnosed a Dexaholic a long time ago.

He has played with pretty much any jazz player around Netherlands and Central Europe from the very early 70s. And a very nice guy. He provided me with tons of information from his gigs with Tete Montoliu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Tony Inzalaco of course was a regular percussionist with the CBBB and on a whole heap of MPS recordings from the 60s and 70s e.g. Ira Kris ‘Jazzanova’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed S Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Another Dexaholic checking in. Looking forward to this. Ordered it a a couple of days ago. Another recent Dexter CD I picked up is Dexter Gordon - In The Cave: Live At Persepolis Utrecht 1963. Highly recommended. It will give you a nice Dexter fix until this new one is released Edited April 5, 2019 by Ed Swinnich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was with Maynard before departing the US. That's how I first heard the name. Damn solid drummer. also worked with Slide Hampton in Europe a good deal, iirc. Bassist here is Ron McClure, soon to be with Charles Lloyd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those and the interaction with the audience during "I Wanna Blow Now" as well as the overall playing really bring this recording to life. Makes me wish I was there shouting "Go Ahead!" in response to Dexter's "I wanna blow now". Must have been a great noght. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Just in case: Irv Rochlin was from Chicago. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1952-Press-Photo-Entertainers-Lila-Leeds-Irv-Rochlin-in-Chicago-Nightclub-/401679473088?oid=372253205089#vi__app-cvip-panel Lila who? http://donstradley.blogspot.com/2014/08/lila-leeds-how-bad-can-good-girl-get.html?m=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 Got this Friday listening now: Excellent sound on the main set haven't gotten to the "bonus" material on disc 2. Very nice packaging good photos of Dex especially. As far as the music ... it's Dex. I'm not sure I can recognize a subpar Dex anyway. Because it's Dex, and I love him.

CJ Shearn Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 I got this as well, excellent sound on the main set, but the mix is strange and Irv Rochlin is way down in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm missing his comping when Dexter blows but I really don't hear it as a poor mix or that he's not sufficiently prominent especially when soloing.

I saw him live on several occasions, he played very much in Vienna with the Frith Pauer Trio (Fritz Pauer p, Jimmy Woode b, Tony Inzalaco dr) and I remember an unforgettable night at Jazz Freddy: Johnny Griffin with the Fritz Pauer Trio, so I saw Tony Inzalaco with Griff , those were the days !

mikeweil Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I saw Inzalaco at a local club, maybe with George Coleman. He was swinging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 First spin last night ... on the Subway material (some 100 minutes, the best track is on disc two and almost half an hour long), Gordon is supremely relaxed (though the Brazilian vibe indeed is not for him). The mix is odd, but at the same time very clear. The bonus sessions are about 25 minutes each, and I found "Round Midnight" with George Grunz on piano quite possibly the highlight of the entire set. I wouldn't consider it essential, given that there are around seven gazillions of Dexter Gordon recordings from the seventies, but as one who never had access to sanely priced Steeplechase releases and doesn't own any of the live ones, I guess it's a worthy adition for sure. And for anyone really into LTD, I bet it is, anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
