Gheorghe Posted December 8, 2023 Report Posted December 8, 2023 Last night I listened to this one. Well, I l o v e it . First I was reluctant to spin it since I h a d heard and seen Dexter exactly the same period, early 1983, actually the last time I saw him live and it was almost a desaster , so weak it was. It´s astonishing that in an interval of maybe 2 or 3 days Dexter sounded so splendid in Copenhaga, Danemarca. He´s just in top form and the band is superb. It makes you understand why so many Americans in Europe after some nice and healthy years in fancy European towns had to leave Europe since they missed that competition and the power of N.Y. rhythm sections. Dexter was always great in the 60´s and early 70´s and had great pianists like Tete Montoliu or Kenny Drew, but bassists and drummer just were not up to what you hear in N.Y. for example. Young Dave Eubanks is fantastic, listen how he pushes the thing on "Hanky Pranky", a tune I never had heard before, it´s pure Messenger´s sound. And some of the best "More than you know" I ever heard. In Vienna, it was really weak, it was painful to listen to and to look at Dex there. I think it was similar to other booze or drug addicted musicians in their last years, there performances were not persistent, you might catch a night were it was a stellar performance, and then on other nights you might leave with embarrassement and disapointment.....

On first listen, I found the instrumental tracks on the recording to be compelling (5 of the 9 tracks), The other four tracks feature Marvin Tate on "vocals" which is more like narration. These tracks are probably one listen tracks, for me anyway. Quote

I've also enjoyed this one: Of course, Farmer's presence changes the dynamic of the trio -- but it's still a lovely album. Quote
