Summary
"Europe was always receptive to the genius of American jazzmen, many of whom returned the favor by making the Old Continent their permanent home or living there for extended periods of time. Such was the case of both Dexter Gorden, who lived in Europe from 1962 to 1976, and of Ben Webster, who resided there from 1964 until his death in 973. Both musicians were recorded prolifically during those years, and these filmed performances are perfect examples of the love and admiration they received."--Container.
