Both Sides of Midnight


Both Sides of Midnight is a live album by American saxophonist Dexter Gordon recorded at the Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1967. It was released on the Black Lion label as The Montmartre Collection Vol. 1, then re-released with an additional track and different title in 1988 to capitalize on the success of the film Round Midnight.

Critical reception

AllMusic critic Michael G. Nastos stated "A well-recorded live date, one of many Gordon did at the Montmartre, this easily ranks as one of Gordon's best, just shy of his magnum opus Homecoming".
