about

Jazz giant and tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon bids Copenhagen
farewell on his new album Copenhagen Coda – Live at Montmartre 1983.

This album marks DG’s final farewell to friends and fans in the Danish
capital, with which he had had a twenty year love affair. He is quoted as
having said: “I don’t think they [his fellow American musicians living in Europe] got the love I got in Copenhagen”

The concert was part of a TV production by the national Danish
Broadcasting Corporation, who have documented this golden era in Danish jazz history. On this recording, DG is accompanied by the accomplished and versatile pianist Kirk Lightsey, wonderful bass player David Eubanks and the master drummer Eddie Gladden. DG proves that he hasn’t lost a step, as he projects enormous authority on stage, being a fountain of sound and ideas, melodically as well as rhythmically. He generates a stunning energy, taking off on a flight that is able to captivate the audience with his tenacious be-bop, somewhere between Lester Young and Coltrane, with a bold, dry sound.

Copenhagen Coda is a celebration of and a tribute to Dexter Gordon’s
legacy in Copenhagen. The audience in the Danish capital loved the
sophisticated giant “Copenhagen Slim” immensely, and their love was
reciprocated - Copenhagen Coda is a testament to this intense year-long love affair!
