Morten Brattgård Trio featuring Simon Rigter live album recording

Billie’s Bounce stands as a hidden gem in Dexter Gordon’s discography — a recording that deserves far more recognition. Saxophonists Simon Rigter and Morten Brattgård have long drawn inspiration and joy from Dexter’s magical playing on this album. While his sound can never truly be recreated, their interpretation seeks to honor his legacy while giving the music fresh life.

On September 26th and October 9th, this heartfelt tribute will be performed and recorded at Contra.
