Not to be confused with the much later Verve"greatest hits" type cd, also titled Gold.This would be the Inner City version of the Steeplechase record pictured at the left.
Assuming it got it's title from celebrating Getz' 50th birthday, I salute him. My 50th was a milestone ( and a damn lot of fun) but I didn't document it for the world.
Again we have a couple of ex-pats calling on some of Euro's best to help out on a great outing.
Copenhagen in the early seventies was the place to be, forget the west coast.

I remember the crappy-pressing, late 70's gold covered Inner City release of this--I musta had to return it twice in exchange for one that played. Terrific music, tho'--one hell of a ringer of a "local" bassist! Thanks for this--"Morning Star", by ex-Mongo pianist Rogers Grant, is an exquisite tune.
I had to return my first copy also! I loved this album, and it's in my collection which is now 150 miles from where I live , and my turntable is not set up.
I could NOT find a digital copy anywhere. I gave up looking about three months ago. Did one more search, and found your site. I can not thank you enough for this treat! Joanne Brackeen never played anything better than this gig!!!
