More than you know
Jan 1,1979
Dexter Gordon was live at the Carnegie Hall, and had one of my favorite concerts. He reads the lyrics like poetry, sounding like soft velvet before he turns those words into pure music that makes me feel like I’m Ann Margret in “Made in Paris” where she is on the balcony watching the show in Paris and states “who needs to drink when I'm drunk enough on life” that’s how I feel, especially when the saxophone is playing. Ann Margret also sings the same song, an American Standard- More than you know. One of the most beautifully written songs. This 1979 concert is also in one of the most famous music venues from 1891, truly breathtaking when you hear him play there.
