PREVIOUSLY UNISSUED!!!
Brilliantly recorded in STEREO!!!
This was the first live performance by the NDR band, formerly known as the NDR Studio Band, conducted here by Bosnian trumpeter Dusko Goykovich, who also acted as MC and arranger. Featuring Herb Geller, Slide Hampton, Horace Parlan, Tony Inzalaco and Goykovich himself. One of the very first bebop tenor saxophonists, Dexter Gordon (1923-1990) began playing clarinet at the tender age of seven. By the time he was fifteen the precocious tenorist had already played in bands with Chico Hamilton and Buddy Collette! He formed part of the Lionel Hampton and Louis Armstrong orchestras in the early forties, and joined the Billy Eckstine band and recorded with Charlie Parker in 1945. Gordon possessed a very distinctive and profound sound. Some of the bestremembered moments of his superlative career were his tenor battles with fellow tenor saxophonist Wardell Gray from 1947 to 1952 and his leading role as an actor in the film 'Round Midnight in 1986, for which he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. The Hamburg performance, presents a well-rehearsed formation playing under the conception and direction of Goykovich. The range of styles displayed is ample, going from somewhat funky tunes like Horace Silver's 'Psychedelic Sally' or Goykovich's own 'What Kind of Blues' to classic jazz compositions by Duke Ellington and Luis Russell, which maintain the sound of the swing orchestra. All of the soloists have stellar moments in this concert. Herb Geller (born in 1928) displays his talents on alto sax, soprano sax and flute. The cousin of Lionel Hampton, trombonist Slide Hampton (born in Pennsylvania in 1932) exhibits the whole range of the jazz trombone in this concert. Created after the end of the Second World War, the NDR big band belongs to the Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) [North German Broadcasting], a public radio and television broadcaster, based in Hamburg. It was known as the 'NDR Studio band' from 1955 to 1971, when it was re-baptized as the 'NDR big band'.
