What is different about this set (recorded in a particularly busy year for
Dexter Gordon
) is that the veteran tenor is joined by a trio (guitarist
Philip Catherine
, bassist
Niels Pedersen
and drummer
Billy Higgins
) that does not include a pianist. Otherwise, the music is at the same high quality level and in the same modern bop genre as one would expect. In addition to one of his originals and
Slide Hampton
's
"Yesterday's Mood,"
Gordon
stretches out on some standards, making a classic statement on the ballad
"When Sunny Gets Blue."
All of his
SteepleChase
albums (particularly those from the 1975-76 period) are well worth acquiring. ~ Scott Yanow
