This recordings from a Danish Radio concert in October 1961 and a TV recording in Malmø, Sweden in November 1961, make this album an important addition to American jazz tenor saxophonist Brew Moore's discography and a reminder of a genius whose life ended too prematurely.

PERSONNEL:

Brew Moore - (tenor sax)

Harold Goldberg - (piano alto horn)

Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen - (bass)

Alex Riel - (drums)

I am a bit uncertain whether 1961 is the correct year for the Brew Moore Steeplechase album. 1962 would seem more probable, but maybe there is evidence? I didn't think Niels-Henning played on TV as early as 1961.

Incredible footage, thanks for sharing. I hadn't seen that before.

that may be only the second Dexter Gordon solo I have ever liked (in his work after 1960). He's actually awake.
