...Workshop are showing why the Rise Club will soon be the number one place to see jazz in Cambridge. The Mall has Melba Moore, who sounds okay, not great, on her new album "Melba," produced by none other than disco Van McCoy. Speaking of disco, the Jazz workship has Dexter Wansel in this weekend. Wansel is right out of The Sound of Philadelphia studios, and carries with him the high recommendation of Ken Camble, of Camble and Huff fame (the O'Jays). The strange thing about this Philly International date is that Jean Carn, who used to do some nice...

The fan spread of the house is between...
...tremendous series of jazz albums is coming out of Copenhagen featuring Dexter Gordon, Kenny Drew and a couple of great Danish performers. They are under the Steeplechase label and seem to provide the logical link to the pre-electric era of the 1960s. Perhaps the finest of the series is the two-record collection The Meeting and The Source with Jackie McLean sitting in on alto with Dexter on tenor. Dexter's The Apartment has some excellent moments also. Dexter fled the U.S. because nobody appreciated his greatness. Fortunately, he's back to haunt...
