• Dexter Gordon

    From Rich D@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jan 21 15:50:39 2022
    Sometimes on jazz radio, they play Dexter Gordon.
    He has a nice touch on ballads.

    I don't own any of his recordings. Anyone care to
    recommend one or two CD, the "definitive", so to speak?

    The high-water mark is The Complete Blue Note Sixties Sessions, but it's
    6 CDs, out of print, and expensive now.

    As an alternative, you could check out this Euro public-domain release:

    https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Albums-Alright-Calling-
    Swingin/dp/B01FV8HKK8

    These kinds of releases are often a mixed bag, but one review indicates
    the sound quality is pretty good, and you're probably not going to find
    better value for the money.
