The best version of Scrapple From The Apple, by Charlie Parker, ever done by anyone. Dexter G. and Stanley T. and Sonnys, Rollins and Stitt, oh my.

I shouted "Scrapple from the apple" at Stan Kenton when he and his "Wall of Sound" played here in @ 1976, and wow did I get a dismissive look from him: no requests were good requests to him I guess, ouch on me! Bird may have died just before he was going to have a gig with Stan, I only recently learned.

Thanks for the great comment!

I love jazz

This is my favourite Dexter LP. You get the full force of Gordons big sound and the track I like best is the brilliant version of Broadway.

Without compromising the offbeat blend of Kenny Clarke, has been rather inspiring!

The best with Dex is "Swiss nights" all 3. And the most with NHØP (with Tete M is a +).
