Part of the SteepleChase "Dexter in Radioland" series of Danish Radio broadcasts of tracks recorded during Dexter's residency in Denmark in the '60s.
Personnel: Dexter Gordon (tenor saxophone); Tete Montoliu (piano); Neils-Henning Orsted Pedersen (bass); Alex Riel (drums).
Includes liner notes by Klaus Albrechtsen.
Dexter Gordon and his 1964 Quartet (with pianist Tete Montoliu, bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and drummer Alex Riel) broadcast from the Montmartre Club in Copenhagen on six occasions and all of the music has been issued on SteepleChase CDs. This particular set finds the group playing a fairly brief "Night in Tunisia" and long versions of "Billie's Bounce" (over 17 minutes), "Satin Doll" and Gordon's "Soul Sister." The well-recorded performances feature the great bop tenor in peak form and are easily recommended as is this entire Dexter in Radioland series. ~ Scott Yanow
