EKE BBB Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 In November, Storyville will release a new live album by the Dexter Gordon Quartet with Tete Montoliu (& NHOP & Alex Riel), recorded at the legendary Copenhagen jazz cava Montmartre during the summer of 1964. The first single is now available at different streaming sites: https://orcd.co/cheese-cake Definitely, this "Cheese Cake" is different from the one included in volume 2 of Dexter in Radioland Steeplechase series. So, Dexter Gordon fans, you're in for a treat! As for Dex's naysayers... just keep interpersonal distance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 I always hope that if another live Dex shows up it will be with Kenny Drew but of course I am in for this one ... thanks for the news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardbopjazz Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Thanks for the alert. I will be getting this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhatta Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Thanks for the information! I thought most of Dexter's Danish Radio broadcasts in 1964/65 have been already issued as Dexter In Radioland series, but it might be from (missing) July 20, 1964? A discography says they played I Want More, Misty and Cheese Cake at that night. Dexter and Tete were really getting along. I really hope someday I can get their private live recordings from Whisky Jazz Club in Madrid, Spain (Nov. 1964). Seems somebody recorded tons of their music.

medjuck Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 I was at the Montmartre later summer. Saw Bill Baron there but missed Dexter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed S Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Does anyone know where you can pre-order? I just saw an MP3 of the song Cheesecake on the US Amazon. Nothing about an CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 There is such a thing as too much of the same... As much as I love Dexter's playing, I won't be buying another live date from this time period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 The Monk Palo Alto album is a treat, because it takes a band/period that has up to now been documented as mostly rut-y and show them to be springy alive and frisky after all. The Dex records, yes, I love to hear top form Dexter, it's always a pleasure, always a blessing, but perhaps not always a surprise or a revelation.

AllenLowe Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) actually, this Dexter album was recorded in 1964, but the concert started in 1963. Edited September 30, 2020 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 I received this yesterday from Amazon and listened yesterday while the board was down. This is a terrific recording of prime Dex and Tete not to mention Alex Riel and NHOP. Excellent sound too and great liners with remembrances by Riel and Bo Stief and the main section is an excerpt from a chapter about Dex from a book about the Montmartre which is really vivid and well-written. Palo Alto has competition for best archival recording of this annus horribilis - and I love the new Monk unreservedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repeated listenings during the weekend are foreseen. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed S Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Glad I checked in here today. I had forgotten about this one, having just received the Chateauvallon disc. Placed an order and should be here Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhatta Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Does anyone know the exact date these recordings come from? Sjogren's discography "Long Tall Dexter" notes that there is an unissued Danish Radio broadcast (from unknown venue), "I Want More" "Misty" and "Cheese Cake" from Jul. 20, 1964 (with Tete, NHOP and Alex). I guess these are the last 3 tunes. How about others? From the same night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKE BBB Posted November 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) The remaining four tracks were recorded on Jul. 28, 1964 (telecast from Montmartre). King Neptune is not complete; it starts after Dexter Gordon’s solo. Edited November 22, 2020 by EKE BBB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhatta Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Thanks for info. Seems only "Manha De Cranival" was broadcasted (TV show called "Jazzorama"?) at that time. I'm still not sure if the venue was Montmartre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
