Dan Gould Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Can anyone help confirm if Red Rodney and Dexter recorded together in the mid-1970s? Discogs is not helping yet I have this feeling they did a record together, one guesting for the other? Wish Steeplechase had a decent website like Criss Cross. Thanks as always in advance.

JSngry Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Got a video: And on comment says: An audio recording is only available on the compilation 'Those Were The Days'. That's a grey market item on the Moon label: https://www.discogs.com/release/11338720-Dexter-Gordon-Those-Were-The-Days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out the one Red Rodney track was taken from a 34 minute TV broadcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 One might also take tremendous joy from the record Chuck mentions as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Excellent record and not expensive. https://www.discogs.com/master/437834-Various-Charlie-Parker-Memorial-Concert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I have had that one for a while and always enjoyed it. The full show of Red and Dex on TV before an appreciative audience is something deserving of release but I guess that infamous label couldn't find a copy to source from.

JSngry Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Moon was a great label at the time. Internet file-sharing still wasn't a real thing, so getting these grey-market things was a real opportunity. I carpe diemed like a big dog, especially with all the Miles stuff...my first chance to hear the Lost Quintet...it was a fully funded reality check, that was. Nowadays, paying money for them is usually a matter of either impatience, ignorance, or a need to collect items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon was the only source I knew for a long time for hearing John Coltrane's "Creation" from the Half Note in 65. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there. FWIW, after the afternoon show some of us went to dinner at a Mexican place down the street - dinner guests were Red, Roy Haynes, Dan Morgenstern and Ira Gitler. Then back to the venue for the evening show. Lovely 50+ year memory. Edit to say I'm sure I've told this before.
