Recorded on September 8, 1974. Includes liner notes by Jorgen Frigard.
The recording quality is superb. THE APARTMENT is mostly Gordon originals, with the exceptions of the standard "Old Folks," Benny Golson's "Stablemates" (previously unreleased) and J.J. Johnson's "Wee-Dot," one of the CD's hard-swinging highlights. The ballad highlight is "Old Folks," which is just Gordon and Pedersen--the former's breathy, romantic tone here recalls "The Brute," Ben Webster.
Dexter Gordon Quartet: Dexter Gordon (tenor saxophone); Kenny Drew (piano); Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen (bass); Albert "Tootie" Heath (drums).
Dexter Gordon in 1974: a very good year! His tenor's tone was joyous and robust, it could--and did--fill the room. And one of his best working groups (late '60s/early '70s vintage) was finally recorded in a studio setting: pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and Al "Tootie" Heath, with no dimming of the flames they stoked in performance.

| | Stan Hope Pastels CD (1999)
Apartment music CDs
$13.89
Stan Hope has been in the jazz business for more than 40 years, but Pastels is only his third album as a leader. The influence of Erroll Garner on Hope's approach to the music is evident, not only in the playing, but in Hope's selection of four Garner-composed tunes for this session. To Hope's credit, "Misty" is not one of them. Hope's playing sparkles like Garner's, but is not as fanciful or as ornate. Hope doesn't engage in those long, twisting runs Garner is noted for, but Hope swings and plays in an unabashedly romantic manner, sometimes within the same song. Listen to the ...

| | Dave Burn The Woodcutters Tale CD (2009)
Apartment songs
$15.29
Influenced heavily at a young age by his older brother Bernie, Dave realised very early on that music was to become the main passion in his life. "The first time I heard the opening to Whole Lotta Love by Zeppelin it totally changed my life, I was completely hooked, I wanted to be able to do whatever it was I was hearing." Dave started playing guitar at the age of twelve, struggling by himself, but determined. He was soaking up all the music he could, listening to Alan 'Fluff' Freeman's Saturday afternoon Radio 1 show with his brother to the likes of The Eagles, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell and Free.Free, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Mountain and UFO would become his favourite rock bands and Mozart his favourite composer. "My Nana bought me my first guitar for my 12th birthday, and the following Christmas my Mother and Father, persuaded by my constant whining, bought me my first electric guitar, a CSL Sunburst Les Paul copy which I still possess. This guitar became my pride and joy, and I took it everywhere with me" At his 'O' level music exam, whilst everyone in the class was allowed to play whatever piece they wanted, his teacher said he had to play Greensleeves. This he did, and so moved were the examiner and teacher by his performance, (yes...) they requested that he play it once more... Dave says he just felt totally embarrassed and hated the piece with a passion and only recently can he bear to play or listen to that piece again! "Since leaving school I have spent all my time (and money!) on pursuing music in any shape or form, including writing, recording, teaching and my favourite - playing live. Years of working in the North-East of England's pub and club circuit gave me an ability to entertain and communicate with an audience. If you don't learn that here you'll have a very short career!! It also gave me a bit of a reputation for being a little better/different than the norm, utilizing every trick in the book; playing the guitar with my teeth, behind my head, with a violin bow, cordless drill - anything to get noticed, really! This led to joining a band called Nobody's Fool for five years, and then forming UUFO, and also treading a solo path which I love as it means I have no compromising to do, I play/write/record whatever I want, and that brings a great sense of freedom."Dave met Ritchie at the 1998 Stormin' The Castle biker's rally in Durham, "Ritchie's band walked on stage as the opening act with suits on and belted it out like they were headlining. I was knocked out by Ritchie's vocals and stage presence. We struck up a rapport straight away and became good friends pretty soon. I was already planning to record an album of original material, which wasn't in our singer's agenda at the time, so I approached Ritchie to do the album and fortunately he said yes". Nobody's Fool put together two albums - the first, although untitled, was known as Little Black Dress and was recorded in just 30 hours and released on 1st April ...
