From the 7CD boxset DEXTER GORDON | THE COMPLETE COLUMBIA ALBUMS COLLECTION Disc 3 SOPHISTICATED GIANT ~ DEXTER GORDON (Columbia|Legacy) CD Alto Saxophone, Flute, Piccolo Flute – Frank Wess / Drums – Victor Lewis Piano – George Cables / Tenor & Soprano Saxophone – Dexter Gordon Trombone – Slide Hampton / Wayne Andre Trumpet, Flugelhorn – Benny Bailey / Woody Shaw Tuba, Baritone Saxophone – Howard Johnson / Vibraphone – Bobby Hutcherson #1-6 originally issued in 1977 on Sophisticated Giant & recorded at Sound Ideas, New York City on June 21 & 22, 1977. #7-8 originally issued in 1979 on Great Encounters & recorded at Columbia Studios on January 26, 1979. A good 8 track CD with a great line up of musicians, but it is not a disc I expect to listen to that often.
Most recent posting I could find on Dankworth, who I've never given much of a listen, honestly...I did pick up, on the cheap, the $1,000,000 collection the other day, and have to give it a spin still....kind of a blind buy so hoping I dig it.
