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
