“Scrapple From The Apple” by Dexter Gordon
from Our Man In Paris
My favorite DG album, with Bud Powell on piano and Kenny Clarke on drums. For the discerning ears out there, you’re right. He plays the melody a little “wrong” at the end of the first bar, but it kind of makes it swing a little harder than Charlie Parker’s original.
Doing some cleaning and reorganizing my box sets. The Complete Jazz At The Philharmonic On Verve (1944-1949) is one of my favorites, both for content and package design.
