Hampton/Gordon's A DAY IN COPENHAGEN Performed Live @ JRAC

The evening will feature live painting from visual artist TBA."Unlike many other American expatriates living in Europe, tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon always managed to play and record with the top musicians while overseas. This excellent sextet session (with trombonist Slide Hampton, trumpeter Dizzy Reece, pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Art Taylor) finds him exploring three Slide Hampton compositions and a trio of standard ballads. The other soloists are fine but Gordon easily dominates the set, playing his brand of hard-driving bop."~ Scott YanowJohn Wambach - tromboneMiles Franklin Smith - trumpetSomeone Good - tenor saxophoneCasey Dahl - pianoMary Halm - bassNadav Simon - drums7pm Doors7:30pm Show$15 Suggest DonationFREE PARKING
