I hope everyone watching this-perhaps for thge first time-nows that it's now available in CRYSTAL-CLEAR QUALITY on the latest JAZZ ICONS dvd releases. Buy the new box set-w/ Dexter,Bill Evans,Roland Kirk,Rollins-it's AMAZING!

I agree. I also encourage anyone who likes this vid of Dexter to buy the Jazz Icon DVD's! (I've seen the Roland Kirk and Sonny Rollins ones. High quality videos AND amazing playing of course!)

Clifford Brown and Max Roach recorded "Blues Walk" in '55, but Stitt recorded "Loose Walk" at least 2 years before. Same tune. Dexter new these guys, and he undoubtably would have known the recordings. If he says this is a Stitt tune, well, I'm inclined to think he's a better authority than any of us or some record company, but who knows? Back then, record companies didn't always put the best effort into accuracy of the names of tunes, composers, etc.

Those were the days. Not only musicians carried themselves with such class. It was society itself. Men nowadays dont seem to care to carry themselves with seriousness and firmness. We have a bunch of Charlatans who just cant appreciate the good things in life such as this fine music. Hip Hop anyone??

@Desafinado30 hip hop is great....

The rhythm section just about manage to kling-on as Captain Gordon helms another blues performance into hyper space at warp 10. Scotty must have been having kittens in the engine room cos Dexter just keeps his foot on the floor for light years of choruses. If only Dexter hadn't been beamed up...still, we've got the recordings.
