More Dexter Gordon Help: Live releases

[mulderxcoltrane]

Ok, it seems like there's TONS of these.

Again, I don't want to purchase something twice. Is any of the below material released elsewhere? Help!

Here are the releases I'm looking at, but with so many imports - it's confusing for a newbie like me. (all are found on Amazon)

1) Complete Hamburg Concert 1974
2) XXL
3) At Montreaux with Junior Mance
4) A Day in Copenhagen
5) At the Village Gate 1976
6) Montmartre Summit 1973 (w/Jackie McLean)
7) Squirrel
8) Nights at the Keystone
9) Live at Montmartre
10) Live at the Both & Club San Francisco
11) Landslide

See my post in the other LTD (Long Tall Dexter) thread. XXL, LTD and Live at Montreux are included in the Complete Prestige box. No. 4 above is a one-off he did with Slide Hampton for a German label called MPS. No.5 is a boot. No.6 are Steeplechase live dates NOT included in the Steeplechase box. No. 8 includes 3 cd's which were released separately, and then together by Mosaic Records (now OOP). No. 9 consists of numerous Steeplechase live dates NOT included on their boxed set. No. 10 is a boot. No. 11 is NOT a live date. It is a Blue Note studio leftover album included on their boxed set. Oh, and No.7 was a live date released by Blue Note but NOT included on their box.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help!
Follow-ups:
What about number 1?
I don't have the blue note box, I have those as single CDs, so would 11 be worth a buy? If so, there are two listed on Amazon, which one would I need?
Is the live at Montreaux with Mance title the one in the Prestige set?

Any Dex on Blue Note is worth a listen. Landslide is not amongst his best on the label, however. If you want it, here is probably cheapest for the Japanese import (US version is OOP, I believe):

The Live at Montreux is on the Prestige box. Read the review from All Music which I linked on the other thread.

The Hamburg Concert is a boot and NOT a priority.

You definitely have your work cut out for you. Let me know if you have other questions.

My personal favorite live Dexter recordings are the following:

- Live at Montmartre 1967 (includes: Body and Soul, Take the 'A' Train, and Both Sides of Midnight)

- I really like the 3 volume Swiss Nights (1975)

- Live at the Keystone discs (Mosaic Select - if OOP, it is available in itunes under 'Capital Vaults Jazz' Dexter Gordon - cheap too, only $9.99!)

Hope that helps!

While I know it's not live, is this set included in any other set/release?

These are the 3 releases on the Black Lion label.

They're all oop. Not sure if this material is available elsewhere.

That would be the big negatory.

This was on the list in the link you gave, is it available elsewhere?

Negatory bc it's not worth it or bc I can't get the music somewhere else?

The latter, although there are multiple releases of the same Dial material. The one you linked is a UK release from the people who now own the material.

Is there a better quality and/or cheaper release?

Not sure, but with Euro copyright laws being what they now are, things are getting bootlegged and recycled faster than you can change your underwear!

Interesting metaphor.

What about the Citizen's Bop release linked above?
