Home / Artists / Dexter Gordon & Woody Shaw / INVITATION: Dexter Gordon & Woody Shaw (Live!)

This recording introduces a previously unreleased series of live performances by Dexter Gordon and Woody Shaw, both as co-leaders in the same ensemble and in their own groups. The release of this material marks the revival of the legacies of these two great artists, and helps to capture the excitement of their music almost 30 years after its initial creation.

Here, we are reminded of the tremendous sacrifice and artistic contribution made by these two innovative figures, during a time (late 1970s) when the music's survival became increasingly overwhelmed by changing climates in art and industry.

Personnel and locations:

Keystone Korner, San Francisco, CA: Dexter Gordon (tenor sax); Woody Shaw (trumpet); Ronnie Mathews (piano); Stafford James (bass); Louis Hayes (drums) (Tracks #1, 4, 11).

Dexter Gordon (tenor sax); Kirk Lightsey (piano); Eddie Gladden (drums) (Tracks #2, 3, & 8); David Eubanks (bass) (Tracks #2 & 3); Chuck Metcalf (bass) (Track #10 -Dakar, Senegal, West Africa)

Village Vanguard, New York City: Dexter Gordon (tenor sax); Woody Shaw (trumpet); Onaje Allan Gumbs (piano); Clint Houston (bass); Carter Jefferson (tenor sax); Victor Lewis (drums) (Track #5).

Basel, Switzerland: Woody Shaw (trumpet); Larry Willis (piano); Stafford James (bass); Carter Jefferson (soprano sax, tenor sax); Victor Lewis (drums) (Tracks #6, 7, 9).
