Piet Kuiters Modern Jazzgroup. Amsterdam 1964. Very Cool.
Best regards Django.
His solo on Society Red (from his Doing Alright LP) is one of the best ever, on the tenor sax!
Neils Henning-Orsted Pedersen was Danish.
(excuse me for trying to sound smug)
He was a gem of a guy and probably one of the greatest bassists in history.
I couldn't agree with you more.
Hopefully you got a chance to see Dexter play live.(?)
I saw him at Ronnie Scott's Club around 1977.
I went back several times in one week because i was so impressed with his sophisticated personality.
His stage presence was BIG and so was his sound.
Such a shame NHOP is also not with us anymore.
I always like listening to what Neils had to say. He is equally a legend today.
NO!!....I never got to see LTD play live at Ronnies - even though I was in London during that period - I did get to see Ron himself play though - and he was a cool dude - pity he had to bow out the way he did. Another sad loss for the Jazz world!!
I was so knocked out by LTD that i saw him three nights in a row.
He was drinking straight gin/vodka from huge tumblers! He could hardly stand but he played superbly.
I recall he did a version of "Autumn Leaves" that lasted half an hour (it was in October)
Ronnie Scott was a superb sax player but difficult guy to get on with.
I recall the night he rowed with Dizzy Gillespie.
Dizzy came onstage and messed around on congas..never played a note on the horn!
Dexter Gordon was the meaning of "COOL".
That famous poster of him at 'The Roost' sums it all up.
I really get dissed in swing band because I put my SR mpc on, and lay it back like Dex - comments from the bandleader..Jeez Tenor 1 - quit draggin' your behind!!! (LOL!! - the rhythm section don't 'get it'!!)
