Dexter -- Live and at his best, June 1, 2007
This review is from: Mosaic Select (Audio CD)
These live 1978 and 1979 sessions from San Francisco's Keystone Korner show tenor sax player Dexter Gordon at his best with a fine rhythm section of George Cables on piano, Rufus Reid on bass and Eddie Gladden on drums. The musicians stretch out for eight to 20 minutes on each of the 14 tunes in this three-disc set, giving themselves ample time to improvise. After 16 years in Europe and elsewhere, Gordon had returned to the U.S. about a year before these tunes were recorded. Like all Mosaic products, this box is a top-quality effort. The thee-disc Mosaic Select issues are quickly gaining the same status as the company's larger box sets, which have been the standard for classy jazz for many years.
