Gheorghe has said that he prefers the Columbia sessions by Dexter Gordon. In my view his series on Blue Note are his best recorded work. I like Dexter's recordings on Bethlehem, Steeplechase, some of the other labels, and Columbia, but the albums on Blue Note are the ones I prefer. 

Different strokes...

Always been a Prestige guy myself, which I think is a minority view. I like how they sound a bit ragged.

The lovely Linda Sharrock, "Like a River" from 1994. This album is sort of a trip. A nice one. A fusion of jazz, world music, R&B. . . her unique blend.

June Tyson "The Saturnian Queen of the Sun Ra Orchestra" cd

She made a great recruiting agent for Outer Spaceways Incorporated.

Nice compilation cd!

Five tracks are previously unissued.

"Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington recording Together for the First Time" Roulette/WEA Japan cd.

This sounds better than an LP copy I have. I wish these sessions had gone on and on.

The 2 disc version with the rehearsals and brekdowns is a fascinating document.

[jazzbo]

Agreed, I have that and both LP and cd versions of the two original releases.

I really dig 50s Dexter! Such a pity he was "unavailable" to record more at that time.

Helluva line up.

I have a friend who is a very very occasional jazz fan, concentrating more on 'acid jazz' than anything. For some reason this crossed his path and he is obsessed with it.

I've grown a bit 'over' the current young London scene this year, and had avoided this record until now, but I do think it's excellent; easily better than Your Queen Is A Reptile, which I liked too at the time.
