Taking place on the 4th of November 1968, Dexter Gordon played a number of Scandinavian dates throughout 1968. Art Dur was a venue central to the life of Gothenburg Jazz. Opened by Gothenburg Jazz Society in the late 1960s, it was resident at Lilla Klaäpressaregatan, before moving to Hvitfeldtsplatsen 6 in the late 70s and changing its name Nefertiti. A name which the venue still holds to this day. This choice of venue for an artist holding the stature of Dexter Gordon may, on the surface of it, seem odd. Artists of similar fame had played much larger venues such as Konserthusset. But this only tells part of the picture. It was a hub for talent and ideas, and many visiting artists played the bigger venues first, but after hours would Jam at Art Dur with local musicians.
