Dexter Gordon/Austria 1980

Tenor saxophone master Dexter Gordon’s March 22, 1980 appearance at the Frühjahrs Jazz Festival at the Vienna University of Technology in Austria is recorded in a two-disc set using the finest stereo soundboard sound source broadcast locally in recent years. Dex’s dynamic tenor full of melancholy singing and the trio led by Kirk Lightsey, who participated in Dex’s tours from 1979 to 1983, create a wonderful performance that is a perfect match. You can fully enjoy the unreleased live performance in Vienna in 1980 with the best sound.
