Oh yes, that´s a great live session. The only strange thing is when they start "It´s You or No One" and it´s that endless intro, just bang bang bang, at Dexter comes in really late. Maybe he still was not on stage when they started?

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".

The strange thing about that cover from the Saturday Night Session is, that Fats Navarro is not listed on the album cover. I have the same cover on my CD, but another cover on my LP (the french America Label). The Dizzy stuff is also classic and a must for bop listeners.

one of the highlights of the 70´s . I was still at highschool when it came out and we were some jazz fans there and whoever picked it up first threw a little party and we listened carefully to that great stuff. All those people were our heroes, McCoyTyner, Ron Carter, Tony Williams, Eddy Gomez and Jack DeJohnette......, they still were really young, McCoy and Ron around 40, and the others in their 30´s

Great to see this great photo of the Milestone Jazzstars. Their album was one of the highlights of my highschool time since it came out then and was very much discussed.

Oh yes, the Road Shows are great. Especially the quartet Rollins, Mark Soskin, Jerome Harris, Al Foster brings some great memories back. I saw that formation in 1979. Unforgettable !

One of my favourites from the Dexter in Radioland series. That group with Tete Montoliu, NHOP and Alex Riel was great. Now listening

Yes, sure, PJJ on drums is always great and as you say: Bird and Philly together.

I have it with another cover, also with bottles. It´s probably not Miles Davis greatest, but very unusual and interesting with Bird and Rollins both on tenor, and the three sides with Rollins, Tommy Flanagan, Paul Chambers and Art Taylor, with the exception of Chambers quite an unusual rhythm section for the Davis of 1956.....

That´s some very fine Stan Kenton live from Stuttgart 1972.

That´s the same I have.

Great , I usually listen to this together with "Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants"

a great loss, such a great piano player. I first heard him on some Savoy Sides with Lester Young.

Wonderful ! Such a great discovery from the ORF tapes. There should be more like this.

Not bad, but IMHO not among the best performances

Two albums from the 70´s

Also an interesting album. I remember when I was young I first didn´t know about Howard McGhee but as soon as I heard him on the Fats Navarro - McGhee Boptet side from the BN-Double album, I became very aware of him. Milt Jackson also has been a favourite of mine for very long time.

Great !

very interesting to read !

Easy Living is one of the great Sonny Rollins albums of the 70´s. When I saw Rollins live in 1979, he played "Isn´t She Lovely" from that recent album. That was a great band with Marc Soskin, Jerome Harris and Al Foster......

Yes, I have read that thread. I just thought about maybe some time I´ll buy that book, or put it on a wish list for some occasion.

Sittin in must be interesting. Maybe I´ll purchase it too.

Dizzy was such a great musician. I saw him at least 3 times live over here in Europe.

In the Dizzy bio "To Be or not to Bop" your father says a lot interesting things about Dizzy, how he got to know him and how he became a member of the big band.

Time for some latin stuff from Dizzy from the mid 70s
