GORDON, DEXTER
TAKE THE A TRAIN (ORG MUSIC)
Recorded live in July of 1967 at the legendary Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen, this selection finds tenor-saxophonist Dexter Gordon and his quartet (pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels Pederson and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath) in top form.
Two of the standards on this hard-swinging set (But Not for Me & Take the`A' Train) are over ten minutes long, allowing Gordon to stretch out creatively.
The historic recording finally gets its vinyl debut with this 180gram audiophile-grade Pallas pressing.
