• The complete original 1960 album ‘The Resurgence of Dexter Gordon’ (originally on Jazzland).This album marked the saxophonist’s first recording since 1955 and Gordon’s sole recorded collaboration with pianist Dolo Coker (who composed four of the tunes from the album).

• Added, as a bonus, are six out of the seven tunes from an interesting session recorded five years earlier (Dexter doesn’t play a solo on the missing tune).

Reviews

Jazz Journal - Brian Robinson

Superbly recorded with bright, clear sound this disc is highly recommended to all fans of the mainstream/bop persuasion who appreciate Gordon's strong, individual, upbeat approach to the tenor.
