Dexter Gordon - More Than You Know (Live at Festival Estate Jazz 81) (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/48]

This inaugural title features an unreleased live recording by one of the true legends of jazz history—The Sophisticated Giant, tenor saxophone master Dexter Gordon, performing with his early-’80s quartet: Kirk Lightsey on piano, David Eubanks on bass, and Edward Gladden on drums. The concert was recorded in Genoa, Italy, in 1981, at Villa Imperiale, during the Festival Estate Jazz 81.

“This recording captures more than just an exceptional performance—it documents the kind of serious artistic statement that becomes possible when musicians know their work will be heard and appreciated at its true level of sophistication.(..)The “More Than You Know” recording stands as permanent testimony to the profound relationship between Dexter Gordon and the devoted Jazz community in Italy. It preserves a moment when Jazz had achieved true international status while maintaining its essential character as an art form based on individual expression within collective interaction.”
