Gheorghe Posted April 1, 2020 Report Posted April 1, 2020 My "Gordon-mania" continues ! I was lucky to see Dexter live on several occasions. We were a little group of big Gordon fans and I remember our exitement when the appearance of his next album "Gotham City" was advertised in the news-folders of our favourite record dealer. Finally in spring 1981 the "new album" Gotham City was in the shop, I bought it and went few blocks down to the little hip jazz club "Spelunke" were we were regulars, and they spinned it and we all listened to it. The other record from 1982 is very fine live playing, though the sound quality is not the best. It´s great to hear the live version of "Moment´s Notice" and "Body and Soul". Quote

Oddly enough it was just a few doors away from another Hollywood jazz Club, Catalina’s Bar and Grill. Edited April 1, 2020 by sidewinder Quote

I was just listening to an intro to a set from Tubby Hayes "Couriers of Jazz," and Ronnie Scott mentioned they were going to play a tune from THIS album!! Scott apparently did pretty good stand-up back in the day! (At least I *assume* it was Scott talking!) gregmo Edited April 1, 2020 by gmonahan Quote
jazzbo Posted April 1, 2020 Report Posted April 1, 2020 Ha! I guess I could at least listen to Carmen McRae sing Jimmy Rowles' song "The Ballad of Thelonious Monk." Right now Something completely different but happily so. Victor Assis Brasil, "Esperanto/Toca Antonio Carlos Jobim." Two very interesting albums from '70. Quote

I once saw a gig with Scott in tandem with Prof. Irwin Corey. You can imagine what that one was like. Quote
