BOTH SIDES OF MIDNIGHT

BOTH SIDES OF MIDNIGHT

Dexter Gordon's <i>Both Sides of Midnight</i> from Black Lion Records, remastered for the first time in decades by legendary engineer, Bernie Grundman. Recorded in the summer of 1967 at Montmartre Jazzhuis in Copenhagen, Denmark, <i>Both Sides of Midnight</i> is considered to be one of Dexter Gordon's best recorded performances. The title references Gordon's role in the full-length feature film, <i>Round Midnight</i>. Dexter plays extended solos, backed by a rhythm section of Kenny Drew on piano, Neils-Henning Orsted Pederson on bass (21 years old at the time), and Albert "Tootie" Heath on drums.
