SCCD 31025 The Apartment / Dexter Gordon Quartet



The history of SteepleChase cannot be told without Dexter Gordon who had
spent the prime-time of his life in Copenhagen playing night after night at
the packed Jazzhus Montmartre. This is the first of the many studio
recordings Dexter made for SteepleChase with his "home" rhythm group at the
height of his career.

Long Tall Dexter or Big Dex, as many people remember him fondly, was the
first man to apply be-bop on tenor sax and left tremendous influence on the
generations to come.
