Yet another forgotten nugget has been unearthed by Gearbox Records. And we’re talking a nugget of high grade gold ore here, not iron pyrite. These sessions date from the period (1962 to 1976) when Dexter Gordon was frequently playing — and living — in Copenhagen. Denmark was kind to the tenor virtuoso at a time when his drug use led to legal complications that kept him out of less enlightened countries. The Danes allowed him residence and ample opportunities to play, and Dexter returned the favour by teaching and performing at schools in Denmark. Magleaas Højskole was a kind of adult education college outside of Copenhagen, and Danish TV caught this live set there in August 1967. And now Gearbox, demonstrating again that they’re a front runner among independent British jazz labels, have preserved it on high quality vinyl and made it available to us.
