Part of the SteepleChase "Dexter in Radioland" series of Danish Radio broadcasts of tracks recorded during Dexter's residency in Denmark in the '60s.
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
Includes liner notes by Klaus Albrechtsen.

Billie's Bounce album
 $22.05   
Recorded between 1937 & 1949. Includes liner notes by Joop Visser.
True to its title, THE LIONEL HAMPTON STORY box set covers the full career of one of jazz's most important pioneers. As a sideman, leader, drummer, pianist, vocalist, and vibraphonist, Hampton played with exuberant skill and enthusiasm throughout an astounding chunk of the 20th century (from the 1920s through the late 1990s), making music with everyone from Louis Armstrong and Benny Goodman to Art Tatum and Charles Mingus.
Hampton was the first to improvise extensively on the vibraphone, and it was on this instrument that he made his most significant contributions to the form. There is plenty of evidence of his dynamic mallet style and unerring sense of swing across the 92 recordings on this four-disc set, which features all of Hamp's best-known tunes (such as "Flying Home" and "Hamp's Boogie Woogie"), and a veritable who's who of jazz musicians on the personnel list. A lengthy deluxe booklet full of discography info and rare photographs makes the box a definitive summation of the work of this legendary figure.
(Budget priced 4-CD box set) 92 track set tells the story of bandleader, vibraphonist, pianist, drummer and all-round showman Lionel Hampton. It's the story of the oldest established orchestra in jazz history and of a career that ...

Recorded live at Montmartre Jazzhus, Copenhagen, Denmark on July 9, 1964.
The Gordon Quartet recorded at the famed Copenhagen jazz club The Montmartre in 1964. Gordon lives up to the claim, made by many critics and fans, that his best period as a player was the early-to-mid-'60s (when he recorded many classic albums for the Blue Note label). His band features two of the finest jazz players in Europe at the time: the Spanish Tete Montoliu on piano, and the Danish Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen, ...

A neglected figure in the overall scheme of modern jazz, perhaps this magnificent recording from the veteran pianist Kuhn will somewhat salve that wound. He is masterfully impressionistic, skillful as any, extra-lyrical and his talent is in full array with substantive help from bassist David Finck and drummer Billy Drummond. In his flowery liner notes, Rafi Zabor refers to Kuhn's sound as that of utter "refracted beauty, " as concise and apt a description for Kuhn's consistently brilliant musings. The bulk of the program is standards, reharmonized as the quick witted John Coltrane title track, the lilting endless melody streams tacked on to "Four," or the "Milestones" tagged version of "Speak Low," showing that as Kuhn is deep, he's also clever. Adapting "Why Did I Choose You?" as if trapising on eggshells with a slight samba beat, Kuhn's dancing figures are steps he invents. Finck's singing bass solo accents the laid back Benny Carter evergreen "When Lights Are Low," and Kuhn's take on "She's Funny That Way" expands further on this already exceptional melody. There are three of Kuhn's originals, totaling a mere twelve minutes. A re-cap on the piece from his Sheila Jordan phase "Last Year's Waltz" is a regret-filled rubato treatment seen through lavander colored glasses. "Chalet" is as elegaic as any snow covered mountain home, while "Tomorrow's Son" is a rhapsodic, free entity with more cascading piano. Steve Swallow's "Wrong Together" is also included, weeping with even keeled swing and repeated inquisitions as to why. This music clearly inspires all kinds of lush, regal imagery. It is Kuhn at his best, one of the more soul stirring piano trio CD's of recent hearing, and a joy ...
