  • Description

    180g audiophile reissue of saxophonist Dexter Gordon's 1976 SteepleChase LP 'Bouncin' With Dex' with an excellent group that includes pianist Tete Montoliu, bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and drummer Billy Higgins.

    It is safe to say that the latter half of Dexter Gordon's European years (1961-1976) found him most inspired and productive. This album recorded in a Copenhagen studio in September of 1975 precedes to Gordon's most publicised homecoming to the States. With his favourite rhythm section of Montoliu, NHOP and Billy Higgins Dexter is in his pinnacle. It is also noteworthy to know that this is the only studio recording Dexter Gordon and the formidable Catalonian pianist made together.



    "... Today, more than 30 years after he made his first dates for Savoy, he is playing better than ever... From the opener, Billie's Bounce, the record settles into a beautiful groove and the interest never lets up..." - Mike Hennessey, Jazz Journal International



    "Almost all Nils Winther's Danish SteepleChase label releases have been better than the CBS albums, and this is certainly no exception." - Michigan State News

    Tete Montoliu: piano
