Don Gardner Quintet Featuring Dee Dee Ford / Beverly Glenn ‎– Rhythm & Blues Dance Party

A blazing live set from The Don Gardner Quintet – recorded live a Stockholm’s Dans In in August of 1965 – and a pretty great mix of drums and organ-heavy jazz and the Rhythm & Blues Dance Party promised by the titles! The group is fantastic – with Gardner holding down on the drums and Dee Dee Ford really standout out strongly on organ – and the two also contribute some vocals. Other players include Bill Leslie and Jimmy Ricks on saxes and Nat Stokes on guitar. Guest singer Beverly Glenn contributes some great, almost show-stealing soul vocals on “Shotgun” and “Heatwave”, and other numbers include “Walkin'”, “I Don’t Want To Cry”, “Watermelon Man”, “Shiny Stockings”, “Julep”. “I Don’t Need You Anymore” and “Last Dance”.  © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.
