DEXTER GORDON – BOTH SIDES OF MIDNIGHT
Dexter Gordon recorded dozens of albums and played hundreds of live shows, but none better what’s captured on this 1967 date from a club date in Copenhagen. The hard-bop saxophonist blows nothing less than a 28-chorus solo without referencing one standard tune on an epic 12-bar rendition of “Sonnymoon for Two” and, for good measure, sails through an extended, calypso-themed version of Ben Tucker’s “Devilette.” Want sentimentality? No problem. Get lost on “Misty,” on which pianist Kenny Drew and drummer Al Heath add their own signature strokes. What a set! Originally released by the UK label Black Lion, Both Sides of Midnight marks Gordon’s peak live recorded document.
Mastered from the original analog tapes by Bernie Grundman and pressed on audiophile-grade vinyl at Pallas Group in Germany. LP jackets feature exclusive art.
The ultimate in audiophile production standards, resulting in sonics and presentation befitting the museum-like worth of the record’s existence.
Only played once, all records are near-MINT. LP jackets like new.
