Dexter Gordon: Night Ballads, Montreal, 1977
Aug 10th, 2012 by dcronin
“This compilation draws from four nights in 1977 at the Rising Sun in Montreal, all likely recorded for Gordon’s use and not with the idea of issuing them. Fans of Dexter Gordon are in for a treat, given a front-row seat in the club to hear the tenor saxophonist’s long but imaginative interpretations of four standards plus his tag theme, weaving in his share of musical quotes from other favorites.” –All Music Guide
